Abstract

Diabetes and menopause are frequent comorbidities. The objective of the present study was to delineate the effects of nonselective and selective estrogen receptor (ER) agonists (α and β) on cognitive function and depressive behavior in ovariectomized diabetic (Ovx-Dia) rats. Bilateral ovariectomy was performed in female Sprague-Dawley rats (200-250 g), and streptozotocin was used to induce experimental diabetes. Rats were administered (10 μg/kg SC) a nonselective ER agonist, 17β-estradiol (E2); a selective ER-α agonist, propionitrile (PPT; 4,4',4″-(4-propyl-[1H] pyrazole-1,3,5-triyl) tris phenol); and a selective ER-β agonist, 2,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionitrile (DPN) for 4 weeks after streptozotocin injection. Marked impairment in memory indicated by increased transfer latency on the fifth day (363%) and increased immobility time (90.5%), coupled with a marked decrease in brain-derived neurotrophic factors (22.5%) and increase in acetylcholinesterase activity (58.1%), were observed in Ovx-Dia rats compared with sham rats. However, a partial change in all these parameters was observed in ovariectomized or diabetic rats compared with sham rats. Treatment with DPN and E2 markedly prevented--whereas treatment with PPT partially...Continue Reading
