چکیده

پژوهش ­های آزمایشی و بالینی نشان داده که قرارگرفتن در معرض الکل پس از تولد باعث التهاب در هیپوکامپ در بین سایر مناطق مغزی می­ شود. از طرفی دیگر مصرف الکل در طول بارداری موجب فعال­ سازی اکسیداتیو التهابی به همراه آپوپتیک وسیع بیماری نورودژنراتیو در نواحی مغزی خواهد شد به علاوه نقص عصبی ناشی از الکل در فرزندان با فعال شدن آبشار اکسیداتیو التهابی همراه با نیتروژن­ دهی گسترده­ و آپوپتوز در مناطق مغزی مختلف مانند هیپوکامپ می ­باشد. کروسین عمده ­ترین ماده­ موثره و عامل ایجاد رنگ در زعفران است که دارای اثرات آنتی ­اکسیدانی، ضد التهابی و ضد آپوپتیک است و می‌تواند از اعصاب محافظت کند. این تحقیق با هدف بررسی اثر تجویز کروسین بر اختلالات حافظه و مرگ سلولی نکروز ناحیه هیپوکامپ مدل سندرم جنین الکلی انجام شد. تعداد 72 سر نوزاد نر موش صحرایی نر روز دوم پس از تولد، به شکل تصادفی به شش گروه (12 سر در هر گروه) شامل کنترل، گروه شم، گروه اتانول و گروه ­های اتانول+تیمار با کروسین )دوزهای 15، 30 و  45 میلی ­گرم بر کیلوگرم) تقسیم شدند. از روز دوم تا دهم تولد، اتانول را با دوز 5/25 گرم بر کیلوگرم محلول در شیرخشک که به دو دوز 2/62 گرم بر کیلوگرم تقسیم شده بود، دو بار در روز و به فاصله دو ساعت با روش گاواژ دریافت نمودند. با استفاده از روش آزمون شیئی جدی، حافظه وابسته به هیپوکامپ و یادگیری فاصله‌­ای در ۳۶ روز پس از تولد ارزیابی گردید. هم چنین از رنگ ­آمیزی نیسل برای ارزیابی مرگ سلولی استفاده شد. نتایج مطالعه حاضر بیان نمود که تجویز کروسین به شکل معنی‌داری نقص شناختی ناشی از اتانول را کاهش داد (0/01>p). هم چنین با تجویز کروسین مرگ سلولی نکروتیک القاء شده به واسطه اتانول به شکل معنی­ داری کاهش یافت (0/01>p). بر اساس اثرات حفاظتی کروسین در مقابل سمیت نورونی ناشی از اتانول در مدل سندرم جنین الکلی، این ماده می‌تواند به عنوان یک درمان بالقوه برای عوارض ناشی از اتانول در دوران تکوین مطرح باشد.

چکیده [English]

Experimental and clinical studies have shown that postpartum alcohol exposure causes inflammation in the hippocampus among other areas of the brain. On the other hand, alcohol consumption during pregnancy will cause inflammatory oxidative activation along with extensive apoptotic neurodegenerative disease in brain areas. Different areas of the brain are like the hippocampus. Crocin is the main active ingredient and dye in saffron, which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects and can protect the nerves. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of crocin administration on memory disorders and cell death of necrosis of the hippocampus in the model of alcoholic fetal syndrome. 72 male neonates of male rats on the second day after birth, randomly divided into six groups (12 in each group) including control, sham group, ethanol group and ethanol + Crocin treatment groups) doses of 15, 30 and 45 mg/kg). From the second to the tenth day of birth, ethanol was received at a dose of 5.25 g/kg of milk powder solution, which was divided into two doses of 2.62 g/kg, twice a day for two hours by gavage. Using the novel object recognition test, hippocampal-dependent memory and distance learning were assessed at 36 days after birth. Nissel staining was also used to evaluate cell death. The results of the present study showed that crocin administration significantly reduced ethanol-induced cognitive deficits (p<0.01). Ethanol-induced necrotic cell death was also significantly reduced by crocin administration (p<0.01). Protective effects of Crocin against ethanol-induced neurotoxicity in the model of alcoholic fetal syndrome, this substance can be considered as a potential treatment for ethanol-induced complications during development.
