摘要: Accumulated evidence indicates chronic systemic injection of D-galactose mimics aging progress induced by oxidative stress. We addressed whether memory impairment in this model was associated with the cholinergic septohippocampal degeneration. Rats injected for 6 weeks showed spatial learning and as measured water maze test. Correspondingly, anti-choline acetyltransferase immunohistochemistry demonstrated a severe loss terminals hippocampus accompanied mild neuronal atrophy medial septum nucleus vertical limb diagonal band Broca. A major synaptic degeneration confirmed ultrastructural analysis. These findings provide neuropathological rodents promising brain age-related neurodegeneration.
