Abstrakt: This study aimed to investigate the effect of maternal supplementation of L-carnosine on improved reflexive motor behaviors in mice offspring. Forty pregnant female NMRI mice were allocated into four groups. In the control group, mice received water, while in groups 2-4, female mice received supplementation of the L-carnosine (0.001, 0.01, or 0.1 mg/kg) at gestation days (G.D.) 5, 8, 11, 14, and 17. Newborn male pups were selected, and reflexive motor behaviors were analyzed on days 5, 7, 10, and 10-15, respectively. Serum malondialdehyde(MDA), superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GPx) and total antioxidant status(TAS) of was determined in offspring's. According to findings, prenatal supplementation of the L-carnosine significantly increased ambulation score, surface righting, hind-limb suspension score, grip strength, front-limb suspension time, and negative geotaxis in mice offspring (P < 0.05). Hind-limb foot angle decreased in mice offspring by maternal supplementation of the L-carnosine (P < 0.05). Prenatal supplementation of the L-carnosine significantly decreased the MDA and increased the SOD, GPx, and TAS levels in offspring (P < 0.05). These results suggested maternal supplementation of the L-carnosine improved reflexive motor behaviors and antioxidant status in mice offspring.
