摘要
目的探讨肾虚对大鼠恐惧记忆形成的影响以及补肾方药的调节作用。方法以4月龄SD青年大鼠为对照组,复制自然衰老与"房室不节"两种大鼠肾虚模型,采用条件刺激(conditioned stimulus,CS)+非条件刺激(unconditioned stimulus,US)联合刺激以及CS+US非联合刺激训练大鼠。肾虚各组大鼠给予0.06g/kg淫羊藿总黄酮和2.025g/kg龟鹿二仙膏灌胃,对各组大鼠进行僵住行为测试。结果 CS+US联合刺激能显著提高青年大鼠、肾虚大鼠平均僵住时间百分比(P<0.05);肾虚大鼠僵住时间百分比明显增加(P<0.05),补肾方药能显著降低肾虚大鼠僵住时间百分比(P<0.05)。结论肾虚能够增强由CS+US联合刺激产生的条件性恐惧记忆,补肾方药能够抑制肾虚大鼠恐惧记忆的形成。
Objective To observe the effects of kidney-deficiency and kidney-tonifying prescriptions on the formation of fear memory in rats. Methods Four-month old Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used as controls.Two kinds of kidney-deficiency rat models induced by naturally aging and sexual exhaustion were employed. Rats were trained by conditioned stimulus (CS) and unconditioned stimulus (US) jointly or singly. The kidney-deficien- cy rats were treated with 2. 025 g/kg Guilu Erxian Gao (a patent traditional Chinese extract) and 0.06 g/kg total flavonoids of Epimedium, respectively. Average freezing time percentage (freezing%) was examined in rats of each group. Results CS combined with US could significantly enhance freezing%in young rats and kidney-deficiency rats (P〈0.05). Freezing% was significantly increased in kidney-deficiency rats (P〈0.05). Kidney-tonifying pre- scriptions could significantly decrease freezing% in kidney-deficiency rats. Cenclusien Kidney-deficiency could en hance conditioned fear memory caused by combined stimulus of CS and US. Kidney-tonifying prescriptions could inhibit the formation of fear memory of kidney-deficiency rats.
