Abstract:

To investigate the effects of aerobic exercise plus spirulina polysaccharide(SP) supplement on the related protein expressions of p75signal in hippocampal and the improvement of learning and memory of type 2 diabetes rats.The model of type 2 diabetic rats was established by fed high-fat diet for four weeks together with intraperitoneal injecting a low dose of STZ. The model rats were randomly divided into diabetic model group(B),diabetic exercise group(C),diabetic+SP group(D)and diabetic exercise+SP group(E), another normal control group(A)without any intervention was set up,12 rats in each group. The rats in Group C and E were treated with intervention of swimming training for six weeks. The rats in Group D and E were treated with SP intragastrically for 6 weeks. Learning and memory abilities were observed by Morris water maze test. The hippocampus cell apoptosis was observed by Tunnel staining, and BDNF content and the expressions of p75, cleaved caspase-3 of hippocampus were tested by ELISA, Western blot and immunohistochemistry, respectively. At the same time, the changes of blood glucose and levels of serum insulin were examined.①Compared with Group A at different time points, the body weight of Group B was decreased significantly(<0.01). Compared with Group B at different time points, the body weight of Group C,D and E had no difference (>0.05). Compared with Group A, levels of the blood glucose and serum insulin Group B were increased significantly(<0.01).Compared with Group B, the levels in the intervention groups were decreased significantly (<0.01); ②Compared with Group A, the escape latencies of Group B were prolonged significantly(<0.01), platform quadrant residence duration and the times of crossing platform were decreased (<0.01). Compared with Group B, the escape latencies of the intervention groups were shortened (<0.05 or<0.01), and the times of crossing platform were increased (<0.05 or<0.01). ③Compared with Group B, the neural cells apoptosis of the intervention rats was decreased, and the protein expressions of p75and cleaved caspase-3 were decreased (<0.05 or<0.01), however the expression of BDNF was increased significantly (<0.05 or<0.01).Aerobic exercise and SP supplement can improve the learning-memory ability of type 2 diabetes rats, and the improvement effect of exercise combined with SP is markedly better than that of exercise and SP alone, the mechanism might be related to better regulating p75signal related protein expressions and then inhibiting apoptosis in hippocampus of rats with type 2 diabetes.
