Timoquinona protegeu contra deficiências de aprendizagem e memória e danos nos tecidos cerebrais em ratos hipotireoidais juvenis

Neste estudo, foi investigado o efeito da timoquinona (TQ) contra deficiências de memória induzidas por propiltiouracilo (PTU) em ratos juvenis. Os ratos foram agrupados em grupos: controle, Hypo, Hypo-TQ5, e Hypo-TQ10. O PTU aumentou o tempo de latência no teste do labirinto aquático de Morris (MWM) e diminuiu o atraso para entrar no compartimento escuro no teste de evasão passiva (PA). Ambas as doses de TQ diminuíram o tempo de latência no teste de MWM e aumentaram o atraso para entrar no compartimento escuro no teste de PA. O PTU também aumentou os metabolitos de malondialdeído (MDA) e óxido nítrico (NO) no cérebro, enquanto reduziu o teor de tiol e as atividades de superóxido dismutasa (SOD) e catalasa (CAT) e o nível sérico de T4. Ambas as doses de TQ diminuíram os metabolitos de MDA e de NO no cérebro, aumentaram o conteúdo de tiol e as atividades de SOD e CAT e o nível de T4 no soro. Os resultados do presente estudo mostraram que a TQ protegeu contra deficiências de memória induzidas por PTU em ratos.

Figure 1
Comparison of the time latency (A) and traveled distance (B) to reach the platform and the swimming speed (C) between four groups in the Morris water maze test. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 8 in each group). The time latency and the traveled distance of the Hypo group were significantly greater than those of the control group. The animals of the Hypo-TQ5 and Hypo-TQ10 groups took less time and distance to reach the platform than the Hypo group. There was no significant difference in the swimming speed between groups. **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 compared with the control group. +p < 0.05; ++p < 0.01 compared with the Hypo group.

The results of the time spent (A) and distance traveled (B) in target quadrant (Q1) on probe day, 24 hours after the last learning session. The platform was removed and the time spent and distance traveled in the target quadrant was compared between groups. Data are shown as mean ± SEM (n = 8 in each group). ***p < 0.001 compared with the control group; ++p < 0.01; +++p < 0.001 compared with the Hypo group.
