Abstract:
Objective To explore the influence of pomegranate juice on cognitive behavior of chroniccerebral hypoperfusion in rats and its mechanism.Methods 48 healthy male Wistar rats were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups, sham operation group (SO), permanent bilateral persistence commancarotid artery occlusion or two-vesselocclusion (2VO) group, pomegranate juice group.Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion model was prepared in rats by permanent bilateral common carotid artery ligation.Given the intervention after operation 1 weeks, before the 2 groups were given by sugar water intragastric ( every 100 mL syrup containing 25 g,sucrose 2 g, fructose glucose 2 g) with pomegranate juice, pomegranate juice group ( polyphenol content of 2.4-4.8 mg/mL) were given by gavage,2 mL/d, a total of 7 weeks.8 th weeks after surgery, cognitive behavior ability of 3 groups was tested by space exploration target quadrant swimming time after an interval of 1day;CA1 region of 8-hydroxy deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), 4-hydroxyl nonenal ( 4-HNE ) expression of 3 groups in cortex and hippocampus detected by immunohistochemical method; observed whether it could improve the chronic cerebral hypoperfusion in rats learning, memory ability, or had antioxidative stress injury.Results On the 4th day and 5th day, the time of rats in SO to find the platform and the shortest time, group 2VO for the longest time, compared with statistical significance between the three groups (P<0.01); the 3 groups of rats in the target quadrant emergence time in sham operation group, the longest (10.05+1.688)s, 2VO group has the shortest time (6.343 ±1.220) s, and there was statistical significance (P<0.05).The integral optical density of positive cells in 3 groups of rats cortex and hippocampal CA1 region of 4HNE, the value of the 8-OHdG IOD is the lowest in the sham operation group, 2VO group was the highest, with statistical significance.Pomegranate juice intervention, cortex of rats and hippocampal CA1 region of 8-OHdG, 4-HNE decreased significantly ( P <0.05).Conclusion Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion may cause oxidative stress injury, pomegranate juice can improve the low irrigation learning and memory ability of rats with chronic cerebral, decrease 8-OHdG and 4-HNE expression may play a protective function through antioxidative stress pathway.
