Abstract:
Objective To observe the effects of wild jujube seed decoction (WJSD) on learning memory and the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and the activities of supemxide dismutase (SOD) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in the brain of the pathogeny model rats with sleep deprivation (SD). Methods Levels of learning memory and MDA, and activities of SOD and NOS in rats' brain were assayed after SD induced by made-self multiple platform method ( MMPM), senescence induced by D-galactose, and Yin and blood-deficiency induced by eyclophosphamide and hydrocortisonum. Results After 48 h SD, the levels of learning memory was lower in the model group( ( 108.9 ± 12.5 ) s, ( 89 ± 11.5 ) s, ( 0 ) ) than those in the environmental control group ( ( 47.3 ±4.6)s,(9±1.4)s,(6.5 ±1.2))(( t=4.36,3.18,2.07, P＜0.01＝＝. While MDA, and activities of SOD and NO in rats'brain higher in the model group( (3.8 ±0.6) ,(3.0 ±0.5)nmol · mgprot-1 ,(229.7 ±25.8) ,(236.3± 25.2 ) U · mgprot - 1, ( 5.7 ± 0. 8 ), ( 5.4 ± 0.9 ) U · mgprot - 1 ) than those in the environmental control group ( (2. 1 ±0.4) ,(1.6 ±0.4)nmol · mgprot-1 ,(155.5 ±10.6) ,( 147.2 ±26.1 )U · mgprot-1 ,(2.8 ±0.7),(2.9 ± 0.5 ) U · mgprot -1 ) ( t = 2.89,3.01,6.78,5.94,3.10,3.46, P ＜ 0.05 ＝. However, the observation of the groups treated with WJSD, the levels of learning memory showed a tendency in returning to normal level (P ＜ 0.05 ＝ ,and MDA, and activities of SOD and NO of the high dose of WJSD showed a tendency in returning to normal leve1 (P ＜ 0.05 ＝ ,and the low dose of WJSD showed a tendency in returning to normal level too(P ＜ 0.05 ＝. Conclusion WJSD can improve the disability of learning and memory of the pathogeny rats model, and its one of mechanism maybe involve the reduction of neural cell damage with free radical and NO.
