Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects of carnosine pretreatment on cognitive function in hypoxic ischemia (HI) rats.
Methods:A total of 36 SD rats,7 days after birth,were ligated and cut off the left common carotid artery;they inhaled 8% oxygen and nitrogen mixture for 2 h to induce HI,and then these SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=12):(1) carnosine pretreatment group:given intraperitoneal injection of carnosine 250 mg/kg at a time 30 min before the HI induction;(2) the HI groups:under the same condition , the same volume of physiological saline was used instead;(3) control group:no treatment or management was given.Some 21~26 days after HI,  by Morris water maze experiment——navigation trial and space probe trial,the effect of carnosine on swimming time,distance,and percentage of time spent in the target quadrant was evaluated.
Results:Carnosine pretreatment reduced swimming time,shortened swimming distance,and increased percentage of time spent in the target quadrant of HI rats.
Conclusion:Carnosine pretreatment improves the cognitive function of the HI rats,hence effectively plays its role in the nerve protection.
