Neuroprotective effects of magnesium against stress induced by hydrogen peroxide in Wistar rat

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: ) induced behaviour impairment and oxidative damage in rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS: (100 mg/kg; b.w) for 5 days. Animals were subjected to behavioural tests (elevated plus maze and open field). At the end of experiment, brains were extracted for oxidative stress biomarkers assessment including levels of malondialdéhyde and hydrogen peroxide and activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase. RESULTS: treated rat exhibited anxiogenic behaviour and the genesis of free radicals in the brain. Magnesium showed amelioration against oxidative stress and significant decrease in anxiety levels. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Stress is a powerful process that disrupts brain homeostasis by inducing oxidative stress and its appear that magnesium may have potential therapeutic benefits by reducing oxidative stress and inducing anxiolytic effect.
