Delayed sodium pyruvate treatment improves working memory following experimental traumatic brain injury

Abstract: Prior work indicates that cerebral glycolysis is impaired following traumatic brain injury (TBI) and that pyruvate treatment acutely after TBI can improve cerebral metabolism and is neuroprotective. Since extracellular levels of glucose decrease during periods of increased cognitive demand and exogenous glucose improves cognitive performance, we hypothesized that pyruvate treatment prior to testing could ameliorate cognitive deficits in rats with TBI. Based on pre-surgical spatial alternation performance in … Show more

“…Previous studies in rats subjected to insulin-induced hypoglycemia or traumatic brain injury have demonstrated positive pyruvate effects on memory function (Moro et al, 2011;Suh et al, 2005). We confirmed effects in short and long-term memory performances in treated 3xTg-AD mice.…”

“…16 The absence of activation after CCI injury occurs when cerebral glucose metabolism has normalized in this model, 32 which suggests that either the region has become irreversibly damaged from ensuing tissue atrophy or other local injury mechanisms, or that the region has become chronically disconnected. Disconnection is more likely, because the injured ipsilesional cortex can, in fact, be locally activated by direct stimulation after fluid percussion injury.…”

“…In a rat stroke model, pyruvate can regulate the expression of HIF1alpha and EPO in brain neuron and glial cells, activate AKT, reduce intracellular DNA cleavage, and relieve ischemia- reperfusion injury of brain. By enhancing glucose metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation, pyruvate can increase ATP generation and lower the degree of cognitive deficits after trauma (10,18). During the process of fluid resuscitation after HS, pyruvate can correct lactic acidosis (19), and improve the prognosis and survival rate (20).…”
