Objective This report investigate the intervention effect of the water extract of Alpinia oxyphylla Miq. fruit (AOF)on memory impairment and the mechanism in cerebral ischemia rats. Methods 48 Rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group(n=12), ischemia group(n=12), AOF group Ⅰ( n= 12)and AOF group Ⅱ (n= 12). The model of transient cerebral ischemic/reperfusion was made by bilateral occlusion of common carotid arteries in rats and combination with reducing blood pressure with an abdominal injection of so-dium nitroprusside. Learning-memory ability was observed by step through test. The content of NO and the activi-ties of NOS were measured in hippocampus. Results In step through test,the latency in ischemia group[(143.8±65.2)s]significantly decreased, the number of errors (8.9±4.2 ) significantly increased compared with sham-operated group [latency: (257.2±67.1 ) s; number of errors: (1.7±1.1 ), P<0.01 ]. The latency in AOF group Ⅰ and AOF group Ⅱ[(186.5±46.2) s, (193.4±43.7 ) s ] significantly increased, the number of errors (6.1±2.9,5.2±2.1 ) significantly decreased compared with ischemia group(P<0.05, P<0.01). In hippocampus, the content of NO and the activities of NOS in ischemia group [(56.53±27.42) nmol/mg prot, (17.23±5.64) nmol/mg prot] significantly increased compared with sham-operated group[ (40.02±17.9 ) nmol/mg prot, ( 10.46±6.15)nmol/mg prot], and in AOF group Ⅰ and AOF group Ⅱ [content of NO:group Ⅰ (46.60 ±20. 26)nmol/mg prot,group Ⅱ (42.38±21.23) nmol/mg prot ;activities of NOS:group Ⅰ (13.98±5.13 ) nmol/mg pint,group Ⅱ(13.61±5.27) nmol/mg prot] significantly decreased compared with ischemia group(P<0.05). Conclu-sion AOF could significantly ameliorate the memory impairment in cerebral ischemic rats. Its effects may be in-volved in the decrease of content of NO and activities of NOS in hippocampus.

Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2000;0(11):-
AIM:To observe the effect of GDP on uncoupling proteins(UCPs) activity and the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation in hypoxic exposed rat brain mitochondria.METHODS: Adult SD rats were randomly divided into three groups (control, acute hypoxia and chronic hypoxia groups). The animals were placed into a hypobaric chamber simulated 5 000 m high altitude for 0, 3 and 30 d, respectively. The mitochondria from rat brain were isolated by centrifugation. The activity of UCPs was detected by the method of [H3]-GTP binding with UCPs specifically. The maximal binding content (Bmax) and the dissociation constant (Kd) were determined by Scatchard plot. The mitochondrial potential was measured by rhodamine 123 method. Oxidative respiratory consumption was measured by Clark electrode. The experiments were conducted under the conditions with or without GDP (1 mmol/L), respectively. RESULTS: For exposed to hypoxia, Bmax and the oxidative consumption of uncoupling respiration were increased. Kd, MMP and RCR were decreased. UCPs activity was inhibited by GDP in three groups. Kd was increased 61.01%, 83.13% and 71.52% and Bmax was decreased 23.18%, 35.20% and 33.38%, respectively. The values in the acute hypoxic group were changed markedly. The sensitivity of UCPs to GDP was elevated significantly by hypoxia. With the reducing of UCPs activity, oxidative consumption of uncoupling respiration was decreased whereas RCR and MMP were increased. The results elucidated increase in the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation.CONCLUSION: GDP increases the mitochondrial membrane potential and decreases the oxygen consumption of uncoupling respiration in hypoxic exposed rat brain mitochondria by inhibiting UCPs activity. The results suggest that the change in UCPs activity is one of the factors of mitochondrial dysfunction in oxidative phosphorylation induced by hypoxia.
