Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To study the correlation between the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content in the hippocampus of rats and delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
METHODS
A total of 40 male Wistar rats weighing 180-230g, in accordance with the random number table, were selected and divided into the delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP: Rats with cognitive impairment after carbon monoxide poisoning) group (n = 32) and the control group (n = 8). A DEACMP rat model was generated by inhalation of CO. The Morris water maze evaluated the ability to learn and memorize in rats. The changes in neurons in the hippocampus of the rats were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Lastly, the ATP content in the hippocampus of the rats was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
RESULTS
The ATP content of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group in the hippocampus of the rat model, so the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); the intra-group comparison was made for the ATP content in the experimental group, and the difference was statistically significant as group 21d > group 14d > group 7d (P < 0.05); and no significant difference was found between group 21d and group 28d (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The changes in the ATP content in the hippocampus of the rats are correlated with the occurrence of delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning; it may take part in the pathogenesis of DEACMP. This offers some elicitation to the prevention and treatment of the disease.
