| Popis: | The effects of the Thr–Ser–Lys–Tyr peptide, which was shown to display neuroprotective activity in cell cultures in vitro, were studied in the model of paired Mauthner cells of goldfish. It was found that intracerebral injections provided the peptide to be applied into the zone of the right Mauthner cell under the fourth ventricle of the hindbrain lead to a dose-dependent decrease in the number of spontaneous turns of the goldfish to the left. It was shown that this effect is not eliminated under long-lasting optokinetic stimulation when the fish instinctively follow stimuli with a low spatial frequency that are moving in the nasal-to-temporal direction. We used the method of three-dimensional reconstruction by serial histological sections to study the dendrite morphology of the Mauthner cells in control and experimental goldfish. It was found that optokinetic stimulation of control goldfish evokes the dystrophy of the ventral dendrite of the right Mauthner cell, which is the target of this type of stimulation. Conversely, the peptide stabilize the size of the ventral dendrite of the right Mauthner cell under stimulation. These data could be interpreted as evidence of the neuroprotective effect of the Thr–Ser–Lys–Tyr peptide in vivo. |
