Characteristic of morphological changes in gyrus dentatus at the pharmacological correction of depressive status in adultrats

[Experimental medicine]

When modeling depression in 12 months age rats, structural changes in the granular layer of dentate gyrus were studied, and the possibility of pharmacological correction of the revealed changes with phenibut and compounds with laboratory codes of RGPU-189 (salifen – adduct of γ-amino-β-phenylbutyric and salicylic acids), RGPU-135 (neuroglutam – β-phenyl derivative of glutamic acid). 5 groups of 10 animals each were formed: control rats; rats subjected to daily 30-minute stress for 7 days; stressed rats treated with phenibut, with RGPU-189, with RGPU-135. Depressive state was caused in animals by simulating mild stress in a special installation, which consists of 6 isolated compartments of the same volume, allowing combining several stressful stimuli (pulsating light, loud sound, vibration). After stress exposure in animals in granular layer of dentate gyrus an increase in specific number of hyperchromatic neurons and specific number of wrinkled hyperchromatic neurons was observed. The use of the compound RGPU-189 to a greater extent had a corrective effect, since it helped to reduce both reversible and irreversible changes in neurons.
