Structural and Behavioural Changes in Rat Hippocampus Induced by Methotrexate and The potential ameliorative effect of Alpha lipoic acid.

Abstract: Background: Methotrexate (MTX) is a chemotherapy drug associated with cognitive insufficiency in cancer patients treated with chemotherapy.. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) has been referred to as the "universal antioxidant" because of its unique antioxidant properties. Aim: To inspect the effect of MTX on the hippocampus and to correlate them with the cognition impairment and to assess the practical neuroprotective role of ALA on hippocampus. Material and Method: Thirty two male adult albino were classified into four… Show more

“…3-ALA pretreated MSG-administered group (ALA pretreated) (n=10 rats): 200 mg/kg BW of ALA provided from (Chemical industries development, Giza, Egypt) was dissolved in 2 ml of (5% ethanol mixed with olive oil, ethanol/corn oil, 1:19 v/v) (7) , given orally, for three weeks. Then MSG (as in MSG group) given orally, and 2 ml of (5% ethanol mixed with olive oil, ethanol/olive oil, 1:19 v/v) given orally once daily, for another three weeks.…”

“…Due to these advantages, ALA has been proposed as a potential therapeutic agent for a number of chronic diseases with significant economic, social, and epidemiological consequences, including diabetes mellitus and its complications, hypertension, Alzheimer's disease, Down syndrome, cognitive impairment, and some types of cancer. In the medical and nutritional care of patients, ALA is suggested as a dietary supplement (7) .…”

“…AD patients suffer from memory loss and other cognitive deficits due to cholinergic neurons degenerating or loss of neurons in the hippocampus and cortex (Kumar et al, 2018). The hippocampus is a section of the limbic system (Alsemeh et al, 2020). It has a very distinctive shape, composed of two areas: the dentate gyrus (DG) and the Cornu Ammonis (CA), which mainly contain the pyramidal cells and the granule cells, respectively.…”
