Optimization of Choline Administration Regimen for Correction of Cognitive Functions in Rats after Brain Injury

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Choline diet promotes improvement of the brain cognitive functions in rats with moderateto-severe traumatic brain injury. In previous studies, the rats received choline being standart (0.2%) or choline-supplemented (2%) diet for 2 weeks prior to and 2 weeks after experimental brain injury. To the end of the experiments (in 4 weeks), the post-traumatic disturbances in the cognitive functions were observed in both groups, although they were less pronounced than in the rats kept on the choline-supplemented diet. Based on original mathematical model, this paper proposes a method to calculate the most efficient use of choline to correct the brain cognitive functions. In addition to evaluating the cognitive functions, the study assessed expression of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, the amount of consumed food and water, and the dynamics of body weight.
