Kisspeptin-13 ameliorates memory impairment induced by streptozotocin in male rats via cholinergic system
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Introduction: Kisspeptin-13 (KP-13) is a novel endogenous factor, increases synaptic transmission and is involved in several behavioral functions such as anxiety, locomotion, epilepsy and avoidance learning. However, the role of this peptide on cognition has not been well clarified yet. Here we studied the effect of kisspeptin-13 pretreatment on spatial learning and also interaction with cholinergic and adrenergic systems. Methods: Eighty adult male Wistar rats were divided into 10 groups: saline + saline; saline + STZ; KP-13 + STZ; propranolol + STZ; prazosin + STZ; atropine + STZ; saline + KP-13 + STZ; propranolol + KP-13 + STZ; prazosin + KP-13 + STZ; atropine + KP-13+ STZ. Streptozotocin (STZ) (3mg/Kg) was administrated intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v), kisspeptin-13 was infused (1μg/2μl, i.c.v) 30 minutes before STZ and antagonists were infused (i.p) 30 minutes before kisspeptin-13. Memory performance was measured 14 days after STZ injection using Morris Water Maze (MWM) consisting of 4 blocks and one probe tests. Results: Pretreatment with kisspeptin-13 ameliorated acquisition (p = 0.001) and retrieval of memory impaired by STZ (P = 0.011). Moreover, we found that injection of atropine, but not propranolol or prazocin was able to reverse the memory enhancement caused by kisspeptin-13 (P = 0.037). Conclusion: Our findings indicate that facilitatory action of kisspeptin-13 on the spatial learning and memory in STZ-induced Alzheimer’s is mediated, at least in part, through cholinergic systems.

متن کاملThe effect of intracerebroventricular administration of insulin on memory impairment-induced by scopolamine in male rats
Introduction: Cholinergic neuronal deficiency is one of the main causes of Alzheimer's pathology, which leads to learning and memory impairment. Scopolamine is a muscarinic cholinergic antagonist commonly used to induce Alzheimer's disease (AD). Insulin also regulates learning and memory function. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of central administration of insulin on pa...
متن کاملMetformin ameliorates learning and memory deficits in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
Background and Objective: Diabetes mellitus (DM) in long-term is associated with learning and memory decline. Metformin is an anti-diabetic drug with antioxidant and memory-improving effects. Thus, this research study was conducted to assess the effect of metformin on learning and memory in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In the present study, male Wistar rats (n=32) were randomly assign...
متن کاملRole of the cholinergic muscarinic receptors of the CA1 area in the memory impairment induced by iron oxide nanoparticle in adult male rats
Objective(s): Nanoparticles of iron oxide (nFe2O3) are widely used in medicine and industry and could interfere with the brain processes associated with memory. The involvement of muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the process of memory formation has been confirmed. The present study aimed to investigate the possible interference of the cholinergic muscarinic receptors of the dorsal hippocampa...
متن کاملNaringin ameliorates cognitive deficits in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
Objective(s):Previous research demonstrated that diabetes is one of the leading causes of learning and memory deficits. Naringin, a bioflavonoid isolated from grapefruits and oranges, has potent protective effects on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Recently, the effects of naringin on learning and memory performances were monitored in many animal models of cognitive impairment. Howev...
