摘要: 目的:研究雌二醇对去卵巢大鼠学习记忆能力及脑内氨基酸水平的影响。方法:采用双侧卵巢摘除术(OVX, ovariectomy)建立大鼠雌激素缺乏模型,于OVX后第7周每日皮下注射(sc)雌二醇75, 300μg•kg-1至第16周。第15周通过Morris水迷宫检测大鼠的学习记忆能力,第16周处死大鼠,用高效液相色谱法测定大鼠前皮层和海马的4种氨基酸的含量。结果:与假手术组相比,OVX组大鼠学习记忆能力明显下降,前皮层和海马谷氨酸(Glutamic acid, Glu)含量及谷氨酸/γ-氨基丁酸(Glutamic acid/γ-aminobutyric acid, Glu/GABA)明显下降;与模型组相比,雌二醇75μg•kg-1治疗组,学习记忆能力明显改善,其前皮层和海马Glu含量及Glu/GABA明显升高;而雌二醇300μg•kg-1治疗组大鼠学习记忆能力无明显改善,其前皮层Glu/GABA明显增加,但海马Glu/GABA无明显变化。.结论:雌二醇75μg•kg-1改善去卵巢大鼠的学习记忆能力可能与其增加脑内尤其是海马Glu/GABA比值有关。

Abstract: Objective: To investigate the influence of estradiol on learning and memory and the content of amino acids in the cerebrum of ovariectomized rats. Methods: Adult female rats were treated daily with subcutaneous injection of estradiol (75, 300 μg•kg-1) between weeks 7 and 16 after ovariectomy (OVX) or sham operation. The learning and memory of the rats was tested by a Morris water maze task on week 15, after which they were sacrificed and the content of amino acids in the cerebrum measured with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results: The ability of learning and memory was significantly improved, and the content of glutamic acid and the ratio of glutamic acid to γ-aminobutyric acid (Glu/GABA) in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of OVX group was significantly decreased as compared to those of sham group. In addition, the ability of learning and memory of estradiol(75 μg•kg-1)treated group was significantly improved and the content of Glu and Glu/GABA in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus were significantly increased as compared to those of OVX group. However, the Glu/GABA ratio remained unchanged in the hippocampus of estradiol (300 μg•kg-1) treated group as compared to that of OVX group; and the ability of learning and memory in these rats did not significantly improve. Conclusion: Estradiol (75 μg•kg-1) improves the ability of learning and memory in OVX rats, and the increased Glu/GABA ratio in hippocampus possibly contributes to such an effect.
