Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of the exercise training on the cognitive function ,choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity and acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity in stroke prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR/SP) vascular de-mentia model .Methods 30 male SHR/SP rats were randomly divided into sham operation group ,model group and exercise group (n=10) .The VD model was established by the fractional ligation of bilateral carotid artery (2-VO) .The sham operation group and the model group were given the normal feeding without intervention after operation ;the exercise group adopted the treadmill exer-cise(DSPT-1) for 8 weeks .After the exercise ,the Morris maze test was conducted for evaluating the cognitive function in each group .The rats were finally killed for detecting the ChAT activity and AchE activity of hippocampus .Results In the positioning navigation training ,the latency period of the sham operation group was significantly short than that of the exercise group and the model group ,but the latency period of the exercise group was obviously short than that of rats in the model group (P<0 .05);in the spatial exploration test ,the rats in the sham operation group had more frequency of crossing platform than the other two groups ,the exercise group had more frequency of crossing platform in platform quadrant than the model group (P<0 .05);the exercise training could increase the ChAT activity and lower the AchE activity of hippocampus .Conclusion The exercise training can improve the function of hippocampal cholinergic system in SHR/SP and then increase the cognitive ability .
