Summary, etc. |
<p>The aim of the present study is to investigate the association of prolidase activity in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rat model with hippocampus-dependent spatial memory functions in chronic hyperglycemic conditions. Towards this, a single dose of STZ (30mg/kg, i.p) was administered to four-month-old female Sprague Dawley rats and hyperglycemia was confirmed in all the STZ treated rats. To assess the spatial memory, at the time intervals of 9 days, 30 days and 90 days post STZ administration, the animals were subjected to Barnes maze task. Prolidase activity and glucose concentration in the serum were measured at these time points.<strong> </strong>With prolonged duration of hyperglycemia, severe impairment in spatial memory functions was seen in STZ-rats which was co-relatable with reduction in prolidase levels (P<0.05) thus suggesting that the alterations in synaptic integrity due to prolidase mediated extracellular matrix remodeling as the possible mechanism of memory defects seen in chronic diabetes.</p> |
