چکیده

hippocampus is essentially involved in learning and memory processes, and is known to be a target for androgen actions. the high density of the androgen receptors in hippocampus shows that there must be some relationship between androgens and memory. androgen effects on spatial memory are complex and contradictory. some evidence suggests a positive correlation between androgens and spatial memory. while some other reports indicated an impairment effect. the present study was conducted to assess the effect of 3α diol on spatial discrimination of rats. adult male rats were bilaterally cannulated into ca1 region of hippocampus and then received 3α diol (0.2, 1, 3 and 6 μg/ 0.5 μl/side), indomethacin (1.5, 3 and 6 μg/ 0.5 μl/side), indomethacin (3 μg/ 0.5 μl/side) + 3α diol (1μg/ 0.5 μl/side), 25-35 min before training in morris water maze task. our results showed that injection of 3α diol (1, 3 and 6 μg/ 0.5 μl/side) and indomethacin (3 and 6 μg/ 0.5 μl/side) significantly increased the escape latency and traveled distance to find hidden platform. it is concluded that intra ca1 administration of 3α diol and indomethacin could impair spatial learning and memory in acquisition stage. however, intra hippocampal injection of indomethacin plus 3α diol could not change spatial learning and memory impairment effect of indomethacin or 3α diol in morris water maze task.

Effect of 3α-anderostanediol and indomethacin on acquisition, consolidation and retrieval stage of spatial memory in adult male rats.

BACKGROUND Testosterone and its metabolites have important roles in learning and memory. The current study has conducted to assess the effect of pre-training, post-training and pre-probe trial intrahippocampal CA1 administration of 3α-anderostanediol (one of the metabolites of testosterone) and indomethacin (as 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzyme blocker) on acquisition, consolidation and re...

The Effect of Intrahippocampal Injection of Ascorbic Asid on Spatial Learning and Memory in Adult Male Rats

Introduction: Ascorbic acid (AA) is present in high concentrations with heterogeneous distribution in the mammalian brain. Previous studies have shown that release of various neurotransmitters such as glutamate, acetylcholine and dopamine might be involved in the central AA release. On the other hand all of these neurotransmitters and the region CA1 of the hippocampus are involved in learnin...
