Abstract

The cerebellum is responsible for complex motor functions, like maintaining balance and stance, coordination of voluntary movements, motor learning, and cognitive tasks. During aging, most of these functions deteriorate, which results in falls and accidents. The aim of this work was to elucidate the effect of a standardized pomegranate extract during four months of supplementation in elderly mice to prevent frailty and improve the oxidative state. Male C57Bl/6J eighteen-month-old mice were evaluated for frailty using the "Valencia Score" at pre-supplementation and post-supplementation periods. We analyzed lipid peroxidation in the cerebellum and brain cortex and the glutathione redox status in peripheral blood. In addition, a set of aging-related genes in cerebellum and apoptosis biomarkers was measured via real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Our results showed that pomegranate extract supplementation improved the motor skills of C57Bl/6J aged mice in motor coordination, neuromuscular function, and monthly weight loss, but no changes in grip strength and endurance were found. Furthermore, pomegranate extract reversed the increase in malondialdehyde due to aging in the cerebellum and increased the reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratio in the blood. Finally, aging and apoptosis biomarkers improved in aged mice supplemented with pomegranate extract in the cerebellum but not in the cerebral cortex.

摘要

小脑负责复杂的运动功能,如维持平衡和姿势、协调自主运动、运动学习以及认知任务。在衰老过程中,这些功能大多会退化,从而导致跌倒和事故。这项工作的目的是阐明标准化石榴提取物在老年小鼠四个月的补充期内对预防虚弱和改善氧化状态的作用。在补充前和补充后阶段,使用“巴伦西亚评分”对18个月大的雄性C57Bl/6J小鼠进行虚弱评估。我们分析了小脑和大脑皮层中的脂质过氧化以及外周血中的谷胱甘肽氧化还原状态。此外,通过实时聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)测量了小脑中一组与衰老相关的基因和凋亡生物标志物。我们的结果表明,补充石榴提取物改善了C57Bl/6J老年小鼠在运动协调、神经肌肉功能和每月体重减轻方面的运动技能,但未发现握力和耐力有变化。此外,石榴提取物逆转了小脑因衰老而导致的丙二醛增加,并提高了血液中还原型谷胱甘肽/氧化型谷胱甘肽(GSH/GSSG)的比率。最后, 在补充了石榴提取物的老年小鼠中,小脑中的衰老和凋亡生物标志物有所改善,但大脑皮层中没有。
