糖尿病致認(rèn)知損害大鼠海馬組織中能量代謝機(jī)制研究糖尿病致認(rèn)知損害大鼠海馬組織中能量代謝機(jī)制研究

摘要：

糖尿病被認(rèn)為是一種慢性代謝病，對(duì)認(rèn)知能力的影響已經(jīng)引起了廣泛的關(guān)注。本研究旨在探討糖尿病引起的認(rèn)知損害與大鼠海馬組織中能量代謝機(jī)制的關(guān)系。使用糖尿病模型大鼠，分別比較了糖尿病組和對(duì)照組海馬組織的超微結(jié)構(gòu)和代謝水平。結(jié)果顯示，糖尿病大鼠海馬組織的超微結(jié)構(gòu)出現(xiàn)了異常，明顯的損害，同時(shí)活性氧（ROS）的水平升高。在代謝分析中，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)糖尿病大鼠海馬組織中ATP和糖原水平明顯下降，與此同時(shí)，乳酸水平升高。糖尿病大鼠的能量代謝與正常大鼠顯著不同，表明糖尿病會(huì)影響大鼠的認(rèn)知能力。本研究對(duì)于闡明糖尿病致認(rèn)知損害的機(jī)制，具有一定的理論和實(shí)踐意義。
