Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of balance training on cerebral cortex and balance function of mouse.Methods Forty-five C57BL/6J female mice were randomly divided into the control group, two-week training group and four-week training group with 15 animals in each group. An new model of balance function training was copied. The balance function, brain index, and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the mouse cerebral cortex were tested after training.Results The total time passing balance beam of the four-week training group significantly shorten compared with the control group and two-week training group ( P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the brain index of two-week training group increased ( P<0.05), and four-week training group also increased significantly ( P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the SOD activity of cerebral cortex significantly increased (P<0.01), and MDA decreased ( P<0.05) in the four-week training group.Conclusion This new balance training can improve balance function, increase the brain index and decrease lipid peroxidation level in the cerebral cortex of the mice.
