Exposure to enriched environments increases brain nitric oxide synthase and improves cognitive performance in prepubertal but not in young rats.

Abstract:

:Rats were randomly assigned to enriched (EE) or standard environments (SE) at 21 or 73 days of age, for 17 days. Half of the rats of each rearing condition were trained in a radial maze (RM). At 38 days (pre-pubertal) or 90 days (young), rats were sacrificed and brain cytosolic and mitochondrial nitric oxide synthase (mtNOS) activity was assayed. Western blot analysis of brain mtNOS was conducted. In the pre-pubertal group, EE rats improved their performance in the RM while SE rats did not. In the young group, SE and EE rats showed a random performance in the RM. In SE pre-pubertal rats, training increased brain cytosolic NOS and mtNOS activity by 68% and 82%. In EE non-trained pre-pubertal rats, brain cytosolic NOS and mtNOS activity increased by 80% and 60%, as compared with SE non-trained pre-pubertal rats. In EE pre-pubertal rats that were trained, brain cytosolic NOS and mtNOS activity increased by 70% and 90%, as compared with SE pre-pubertal rats that were not trained. A higher protein expression of brain mtNOS was found in EE rats, as compared with SE animals. Mitochondrial complex I activity was higher in EE than in SE rats. Training had no effect on complex I activity neither in SE nor in EE rats. In young rats, no significant differences in enzyme activities were found between EE and SE rats. These results support the hypothesis that brief exposure to EE and training produce effects on behavioral performance and on biochemical parameters in an age-dependent manner.
