چکیده

Morphine is the major agonist of opioid receptors that causes memory impairment. Ghrelin is secreted by the stomach and released into the circulation. Studies have shown that ghrelin increases memory. The ventral tegmental area is a part of the rewarding neural pathway that involves synaptic plasticity. In this study, the role of the ventral tegmental area in ghrelin effects on morphineinduced amnesia was studied. The experimental groups consist of the control group, morphine groups, groups treated with ghrelin-saline and ghrelin- morphine. All groups were cannulated bilaterally in the ventral tegmental area. To investigating memory, an avoidance test was used. Animals received, post-training subcutaneous administration of saline (1 ml/kg) or morphine (0.25 - 0.5 -5 - 7.5 mg/kg) and in other groups, received intra-VTA administration of ghrelin (0.3 -1.5 -3 nmol/μl) 5 minutes before the saline (1ml/kg) or morphine (7.5 mg/kg) injection. Morphine dose-dependently reduced the learning and induced amnesia compared with saline group (P< 0.0001). Intra-VTA injection of ghrelin (0.3 -1.5 -3nmol/μl) 5 minutes before the effective dose of morphine (7.5 mg/kg) dose-dependently restored the memory retrieval (P< 0.0001). Injection of ghrelin with saline did not have any significant effect on memory retention (p< 0.05). The results showed that memory and learning can be affected by ghrelin. Intra-VTA injection of ghrelin after training improved morphine-induced memory impairment.

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
