摘 要: | Objective To investigate the mechanism of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in senile dementi-a. Methods The normal 15 months old Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control,model group andre-cape latency time and mistaken times were evaluated by using the step down test. The content of serum PGE2 and urachidonic acid(AA),EPA and DHA of cerebral tissue in rats were detected. Results The lingeringly latency and error times were ( 264.83±16.99) s and (4.8±1.7) times in control group, ( 189.26±31.42)s and ( 9.6± 2.2) times in model group, (230.88±29.35) s and (7.3±2.2) times in treatment group, respectively. Differences in three groups were very significantly by analyses of variance(F=20.114, F=13.638, P=0.000). Compared with model group, control group and treatment group had lingeringly latency(LSD-t=6.332,P=0.000 and LSD-t =3.987, P=0.002, respectively) and less error times (LSD-t=5.221, P=0.000 and LSD-t=3.502, P= 0.019,respectively). Serum PGE2 were in control group, model group and treatment group were very significantly by analyses of variance(F=6.851 , P=0.004). Compared with model group,control group had less serum PGE2 (LSD-t=3.684, P=0.001 ). Compared with model group,ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids chould decrease serum PGE2( LSD-t=2.152, P=0.041 ). AA, EPA and DHA of cerebral tissue in control group, in model group, in treatment group, respectively. Differences in three groups were very significantly by analyses of variance (F=5.538, P=0.010, F=4.240, P=0.025, F=4.633, P=0.019). Compared with model group,ω-3 polyunsaturat-ed fatty acids could decrease A A(LSD-t=2.273, P=0.031) and increase EPA and D HA (LSD-t=2.428, P= 0.022,LSD-t=2.520, P=0.018,respectively). Conclusions ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids can improve learning-memory function in rats,change the proportion of AA,EPA and DHA in cerebral tissue and prevent senile dementia.
