چکیده انگلیسی
We assessed whether learning ability may be restored by increasing extracellular cGMP in brain by continuous intracerebral administration of: (1) zaprinast, an inhibitor of the phosphodiesterase that degrades cGMP or (2) cGMP. We carried out tests of conditional discrimination learning in a Y maze with control and hyperammonemic rats treated or not with zaprinast or cGMP. Learning ability was reduced in hyperammonemic rats, which needed more trials than control rats to learn the task. Continuous intracerebral administration of zaprinast or cGMP restored the ability of hyperammonemic rats to learn this task. Pharmacological modulation of extracellular cGMP levels in brain may be a useful therapeutic approach to improve learning and memory performance in individuals in whom cognitive abilities are impaired by different reasons, for example in patients with liver disease who present hyperammonemia and decreased intellectual function.
