摘要

Objective:To observe the effects of biochanin A on learning and memory of ovariectomized rats and the histopathological changes in uterus and breast tissues,so as to look for a new drug instead of estradiol to prevent or treat neuro-degenerative diseases after menopause.Method:A total of 48 six-month-old female rats were randomly divided into six groups:sham group,model group,17β-estrodiol,Biochanin A high-dose group,middle-dose group and low-dose group.The changes of the spatial learning and me...更多

Objective:To observe the effects of biochanin A on learning and memory of ovariectomized rats and the histopathological changes in uterus and breast tissues,so as to look for a new drug instead of estradiol to prevent or treat neuro-degenerative diseases after menopause.Method:A total of 48 six-month-old female rats were randomly divided into six groups:sham group,model group,17β-estrodiol,Biochanin A high-dose group,middle-dose group and low-dose group.The changes of the spatial learning and memory function were observed through Morris water maze.After the treatment,morphous of the hippocampus were observed after HE stained by microscope.Internal structure of hippocampal neurons was observed under transmission electron microscope.Colorimetry method was used to test SOD and GSH-PX activity and MDA content in the left cerebral homogenate.Western Blot was used to examine the expression of PPAR gamma and MMP-2 in right hippocampus of rats.After the treatment,the histopathological changes in uterus and breast tissues were observed to probe its safety for therapy.Result:Biochanin A could significantly antagonize the decrease of spatial learning and memory induced by OVX.Under the optical microscope and Electron microscopy observation,The number of necrosis nerve cells in Biochanin A treatment groups were significantly reduced.Biochanin A groups could decrease the content of MDA,and increase the activity of GSH-PX,SOD.The expression of PPAR gamma was down regulated and the expression of MMP-2 was up regulated in Biochanin A groups.The number of acini decreased,tissue atrophy in model group,low-dose group and middle-dose group,but the situatiion reserved in high-dose group.Conclusion:Biochanin A could significantly improve memory dysfunction due to lower estrogen levels in rats,the mechanism of which may be related to antioxidative stress.收起
