Περίληψη – Summary

Choline (Ch) is an essential nutrient that seems to be involved in a wide variety of metabolic reactions and functions that affect the nervous system, while thioacetamide (TAA) is a well-known hepatotoxic agent. The induction of prolonged Ch-deprivation (CD) in rats receiving TAA (through the drinking water) provides an experimental model of mild progressive hepatotoxicity that could simulate commonly-presented cases in clinical practice. In this respect, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 30-day dietary CD and/or TAA administration (300mg/L of drinking water) on the activity of brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in adult rats, as well as on the serum total antioxidant status (TAS). Μale Wistar rats were divided into four groups: A (control), B (CD), C (TAA), D (CD+TAA). Dietary CD was provoked through the administration of Ch-deficient diet. Rats were sacrificed by decapitation at the end of the 30-day experimental period and serum TAS, as well as whole brain AChE, were determined spectro-photometrically. Moreover, in vitro experiments were conducted in order to evaluate the potential neuroprotective role of L-carnitine (Carn, 5 mΜ) towards the combined toxicity of CD and TAA on the above crucial brain enzyme. Serum TAS was found significantly lowered by CD (-11%, p<0.01, BvsA) and CD+TAA (-19%, p<0.001, DvsA). The rat brain AChE activity was found significantly increased by TAA administration (+11%, p<0.01, CvsA), as well as by CD+TAA administration (+14%, p<0.01, DvsA). However, AChE was not found to be significantly altered by the 30-day dietary CD. The in vitro experiments showed that Carn cannot reverse the AChE activity increase. Further in vivo experiment are required in order to fully investigate the potential neuropretective role of Carn against the above-described (slight but significant) neurotoxic effect of CD and TAA coadministration on brain AChE activity.
