Oral administration of trace element magnesium significantly improving the cognition and locomotion in hepatic encephalopathy rats.

Abstract:

:The therapeutic effects of iron, zinc and magnesium trace elements, as well as rifaximin were investigated and compared in HE rats. In this study, HE rats were treated with either ferrous sulfate (HE-Fe, 30 mg/kg/day), zinc sulfate (HE-Zn, 30 mg/kg/day), magnesium sulfate (HE-Mg, 50 mg/kg/day) or rifaximin (HE-Rf, 50 mg/kg/day), which was mixed with water and administered orally for 61 days. The Morris water maze (MWM) and open-field tests were used to evaluate cognitive and locomotor function. The blood ammonia levels before and after administration of the glutamine challenge test, manganese concentration and glutamine synthetase (GS) activity were measured. Significantly longer MWM escape latencies, less locomotor activity, higher blood ammonia levels, higher brain manganese concentrations and higher GS activity were observed in HE rats. However, HE-Mg and HE-Rf rats had significantly shorter MWM escape latencies, increased locomotor activity, lower blood ammonia, lower brain manganese concentrations and lower GS activity. Partial improvements were observed in HE-Fe and HE-Zn rats. The results indicated that oral administration of magnesium can significantly improve the cognitive and locomotor functions in HE rats by reducing the brain manganese concentration and regulating GS activity.
