Abstract
Nowadays phospholipids are widely used as hepatoprotective, neuroprotective and anti-stress drugs, as well as the dietary supplements. Besides, lecithin consisting up to 70% of the phospholipids mixture: phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidic acid, is the often component of food production as an emulsifier. Dose of these biologically active substances in the modern human diet could be quite high. Previously we have shown that chronic intestinal inflammation in Muc2-knockout mice induces behavioral changes along with the significant increase in the content of phospholipids in intestinal epithelial cells, particularly, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid. Here we investigate the effects of long-term administration of a mixture of these phospholipids, as well as the effects of long-term administration of soy lecithin on the behavioral patterns in laboratory mice. Animals long-term taken a phospholipid mixture shows no normally observed preference towards females in the two intruders test (with female and male). In the social odor preference test, they also did not distinguish female and male odors, while non-social odors discrimination preserved. In addition, we identified a decrease in anxiety, obsessive traits, and schizophrenia-like behavior traits in these animals. Soy lecithin supplementation had similar effects on social behavior and compulsive traits, and increased aggression in males. Thus, long-term perinatal administration of either mixture of phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid) or soy lecithin can influence various aspects of behavior in mice.
