Hypercholesterolemia accelerates the amyloid pathology in model mice induced by aluminum intoxication
Objective:To investigate the aggravating effects of hypercholesterolemia on the damage to neurons induced by aluminum intoxication in mice.Methods:Aluminum was given by gavage with Al 400 mg/(kg.d) for 10 weeks.Mice were placed on high-cholesterol diet the third week after Al was given.Results:The spatial recognition ability decreased significantly(P<0.05) and hippocampal neurons(CA1
CA2)were damaged obviously in mice with aluminum and with or without high-cholesterol diet
compared with control group with basal diet.Moreover
the impairment of spatial recognition ability and the damage to neurons were more serious and pathological changes of amyloid in the hippocampus(CA1
CA2)with CR staining were found in mice with aluminum and high-cholesterol diet.Conclusions:Hypercholesterolemia may aggravate the damage to neurons induced by aluminum intoxication and its mechanisms might involve the acceleration of the amyloid deposition.
