| Popis: | Evidence suggests that oxidative stress plays an important role in the development of anxiety and depression. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether methyl donors supplementation could exert beneficial effects on hippocampal oxidative stress, anxiety and depression in chronically high fructose-treated rats, a new animal model of anxiety and mood disorders. Rats were divided into two groups and treated for 10 weeks as follows: Group 1 represents the control group and Group 2 was treated with 23% fructose. After 10 weeks, the fructose-fed animals were divided into two groups and treated for 8 weeks as follows: Group 2 continued to receive fructose while Group 3 was treated with methyl donors and fructose. High fructose-fed rats showed increases in glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol as well as in the final body weight and the adipose tissue weight. High fructose induced anxiety- and depression-like behaviors. High fructose caused an increase of the nitrite content and the Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the hippocampus tissue in association with an induction of damage in the dorsal hippocampus neurons. The 8-weeks dietary supplementation with methyl donors normalized the depression-like behavior, oxidative stress in the hippocampus, reversed the damage observed in the hippocampal neurons. These findings demonstrate that high fructose induced depression in association with the induction of a hippocampal oxidative stress. The anti-depressive action of methyl donors appears to be associated to their anti-oxidative properties since they normalized the nitrite content and the MDA levels at the hippocampus in the high fructose-fed female rats. |
