摘要: Relatively little is known about early irradiation effects on hippocampal function in wild-type mice. In this study, the of (56)Fe were assessed starting 2 weeks after whole-body irradiation. Compared to sham irradiation, radiation impaired novel object recognition female and male C57BL/6J There no contextual fear conditioning or spatial memory retention water maze. It possible that oxidative damage might contribute radiation-induced cognitive changes. Therefore, cortical levels 3-nitrotyrosine (3NT) lipid peroxidation, measures assessed. these damage. As can increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, which may impairments recognition, antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) cognition following also ALA did not prevent sham-irradiated irradiated mice probe trial first day hidden platform training Thus, test particularly sensitive detect through a mechanism unlikely involving ROS
