ABSTRACT
Objective:
[WT5BZ]The effect of different contents of zinc in feed on learning and memory function and brain somatostatin,zinc and calcium concentrations in rats were studied. [WT5HZ]Methods:
[WT5BZ]The feeds contained 20, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 mg/kg zinc respectively.The learning and memory function of animals were determined by radioimmunoassay.Their zinc and calcium contents were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. [WT5HZ]Results:
[WT5BZ]Feeds containing 100 and 200 mg/kg zinc were adequate for learning and memory function of rats,whereas other feeds resulted in poor learning and memory function,and depression in somatostatin concentration in hypothalamus,hippocampus and cerebrum cortex.Additionally,feeds containing lower than 100 mg/kg zinc decreased zinc concentrations in blood,hippocampus,cerebrum cortex and hypothalamus,and calcium concentration in cerebrum cortex. [WT5HZ]Conclusion:
[WT5BZ]These results suggest that 100 200 mg/kg zinc in feed is adequate for maintaining learning and memory function in rats.
