タイトル Acetyl-L-carnitine attenuates Poly I:C-induced sickness behavior in mice.
ジャーナル Biosci Biotechnol Biochem
Abstract Fatigue is accompanied by a decrease in physical activity or malaise, and might be reduced by acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) administration. The purpose of this study was to investigate the preventive effects of ALC on Poly I:C-induced sickness behavior in mice. For the experiment, male C3H/HeN mice were used and treated with ALC for 5 days before Poly I:C administration. ALC administration attenuated the decrease in wheel behavior activity of mice at 24 h after Poly I:C administration and ALC-treated mice quickly recovered from the sickness behavior. The gene expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the cerebrum and hippocampus, which is associated with physical activity, was higher in the ALC-treated group. Translocator protein 18kDa (TSPO), which has cytoprotective effects, was up-regulated in the cerebrum and hippocampus, suggesting that ALC suppressed the decrease in activity induced by Poly I:C treatment through enhancement of cytoprotective effects in the brain.
