Abstract:
Objective: To study the effect of taurine to resist the impact of lead on learning and memory. Methods: ABC immunohistochemistry method was used to study the quantity change of nNOS positive neuron in hippocampus of the rats which were fed with distinct dosage of lead acetate in drinking water (0.02, 0.2 g/L) and distinct dosage of taurine (5,10 g/kg) in feed. Rusults: Taurine could increase nNOS positive neuron quantity obviously in hippocampus of rats induced by lead lesion. Conclusion: Taurine could resist impact of lead on learning and memory obviously.
