EFFECTS OF ZINC ON LEARNING AND MEMORY OF MICE IN ACUTE REPEATED HYPOXIA / 营养学报

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the protective effects of zinc on learning and memory of mice suffering from acute repeated hypoxia. Method: 36 mice were divided into three groups randomly normal control, saline+hypoxia (NS) group, zinc+hypoxia (Zinc) group. Model of acute repeated hypoxic mice was duplicated and the anoxia endurance was recorded. The step-through test and step-down test were used to evaluate the ability of learning and memory. Results: 1.Compared with saline+hypoxia group, the anoxia endurance was significantly increased in zinc+hypoxia group (P
