Abstract

Purpose: Nilvadipine is a dihydropyridine-type calcium channel blocker with emanatingneuroprotective properties in various models of neuronal diseases. This study aimed atinvestigating the prophylactic effect of nilvadipine on memory impairment and hippocampalmalodialdehyde (MDA) levels in global brain ischemia model induced by 4-vessel occlusionischemia (4-VO) in rat.Materials and methods: The 4-VO ischemia was induced in Wistar rats by occluding thevertebral arteries permanently by cauterization. The common carotid arteries were twiceoccluded bilaterally for 10 minute at 60 minute interval. One week after 4-VO the memory wasevaluated measuring the correct and error choices in 8-armed radial maze. The ischemiareperfusion-induced damage was evaluated measuring level of MDA in the hippocampus usingthiobarbituric acid method. The study involved three groups: sham, ischemia-control andischemia nilvadipin. Nilvadipine (3.2 mg/kg/day) was administerd for 7 days prior to 4-VOResults: The 4-VO impaired memory performance by decreasing the correct choices (long termreference memory) and increasing the error choices (short term-working memory) (p

Dört Damar Oklüzyon Yöntemiyle Beyin İskemisi Oluşturulan Sıçanlarda Nilvadipinin Bellek Bozukluğu Ve Hipokampus Malondialdehit Düzeylerine Etkileri

Abstract

Amaç: Nilvadipin, farklı nöronal hastalık modellerinde nöron koruyucu etki gösterendihidropiridin türevi kalsiyum kanal blokeridir. Bu çalışmada, profilaktik olarak kullanılannilvadipinin, sıçanlarda 4-damar oklüzyonu (4-DO) ile oluşturulan global beyin iskemisimodelinde bellek bozukluğu ve hipokampal malondialdehid (MDA) düzeyine olan etkisininaraştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve yöntem: 4-DO iskemi modeli oluşturulmasında, Wistar sıçanların vertebral arterlerikalıcı olarak koterize edilip, ana karotis arterler ise iki taraflı olarak 60 dakika arayla 10 dakikasüreyle 2 defa geçici olarak klemplenmiştir. Bellek işlevi sekiz kollu labirentte doğru seçim veyanlış seçimleri ölçerek değerlendirilmiştir. İskemiden bir hafta sonra tiobarbitürik asityöntemiyle hipokampusta MDA düzeyleri ölçülmüştür. Çalışmamızda sham, iskemi-kontrol veiskemi-nilvadipin olmak üzere üç grup kullanılmıştır. Nilvadipin, iskemi öncesi 7 gün boyuncaintraperitoneal olarak 3,2 mg/kg/gün dozunda verilmiştir.Bulgular: İskemi, doğru seçimleri (uzak-referans bellek) azaltıp yanlış seçimleri (yakın-çalışanbellek) arttırarak (p
