Abstract—The aim of the present work was to study the dynamics of neurotransmitter amino acids after acute Noopept (a dipeptide analogue of piracetam used in clinical practice as a nootropic agent) administration in intact and long-term ethanol (ETOH) exposed rats. Albino male rats were given 10% (vol/vol) ETOH solution as the only source of fluid 24 h/7 days per week (n = 5). Also we used intact rats of the same age which had no access to ethanol (n = 5). The excitatory and inhibitory amino acids in the extracellular space of the dorsal hippocampus in freely moving intact and ETOH-exposed rats during prolonged alcohol deprivation were measured using the intracerebral microdialysis method followed by HPLC/ED. There were no significant differences in the level of neurotransmitter amino acids between ETOH-exposed and intact animals. For the first time, in vivo experiments showed the effect of Noopept (1.5 mg/kg, i.p.) on the level of excitatory amino acids (an increase in aspartate by 2.38 times and glutamate by 2.28 times) along with an increase in the level of the inhibitory amino acid glycine by 3.13 times only in intact rats. Thus, in ETOH-exposed rats under the adaptive rearrangements in prolonged ethanol withdrawal, the neurochemical mechanisms of the hippocampus seem to be characterized by insensitivity to an acute Noopept administration. Animal neurochemical studies of long-term alcohol-induced changes in the mediator amino acids in the CNS may be of practical importance for the development of optimal strategies and pharmacotherapy.
期刊介绍：
Neurochemical Journal (Neirokhimiya) provides a source for the communication of the latest findings in all areas of contemporary neurochemistry and other fields of relevance (including molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, neuroimmunology, pharmacology) in an afford to expand our understanding of the functions of the nervous system. The journal presents papers on functional neurochemistry, nervous system receptors, neurotransmitters, myelin, chromaffin granules and other components of the nervous system, as well as neurophysiological and clinical aspects, behavioral reactions, etc. Relevant topics include structure and function of the nervous system proteins, neuropeptides, nucleic acids, nucleotides, lipids, and other biologically active components.
The journal is devoted to the rapid publication of regular papers containing the results of original research, reviews highlighting major developments in neurochemistry, short communications, new experimental studies that use neurochemical methodology, descriptions of new methods of value for neurochemistry, theoretical material suggesting novel principles and approaches to neurochemical problems, presentations of new hypotheses and significant findings, discussions, chronicles of congresses, meetings, and conferences with short presentations of the most sensational and timely reports, information on the activity of the Russian and International Neurochemical Societies, as well as advertisements of reagents and equipment.
