Significant Difference

Arsenic is carcinogenic and teratogenic. In addition, it is also a developmental neurotoxicant. Little is known however about the effect of arsenic exposure during brain development on social behavior. This study aimed to detect the effect of developmental arsenic exposure on social behavior and related gene expression in C3H adult male mice. Pregnant C3H mice were exposed to sodium arsenite (NaAsO2, 85 ppm in the drinking water) from gestational day (GD) 8 to 18. The F1 generation male pups from different mothers were taken and social behavior tasks were examined. Social behavioral-related gene expression in the prefrontal cortex was determined by the real-time RT-PCR method. The mice with developmental arsenic exposure showed poor sociability and poor social novelty preference. Glutamate receptor expression (NMDA and AMPA receptor subunits) showed no significant difference, but gene expressions of serotonin receptor 5B (5-HT 5B) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were significantly decreased (p < 0.05) in the arsenic-exposed group compared to control group. The heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene expressions were not significantly different. Our findings indicate that developmental arsenic exposure might affect social behavior by modulating serotonin receptors and reducing BDNF. Some oxidative stress markers and inflammatory markers were not affected.

The classic ketogenic diet is a diet high in fat, low in carbohydrates, and well-adjusted proteins. The reduction in glucose levels induces changes in the body’s metabolism, since the main energy source happens to be ketone bodies. Recent studies have suggested that nutritional interventions may modulate drug addiction. The present work aimed to study the potential effects of a classic ketogenic diet in modulating alcohol consumption and its rewarding effects. Two groups of adult male mice were employed in this study, one exposed to a standard diet (SD, n = 15) and the other to a ketogenic diet (KD, n = 16). When a ketotic state was stable for 7 days, animals were exposed to the oral self-administration paradigm to evaluate the reinforcing and motivating effects of ethanol. Rt-PCR analyses were performed evaluating dopamine, adenosine, CB1, and Oprm gene expression. Our results showed that animals in a ketotic state displayed an overall decrease in ethanol consumption without changes in their motivation to drink. Gene expression analyses point to several alterations in the dopamine, adenosine, and cannabinoid systems. Our results suggest that nutritional interventions may be a useful complementary tool in treating alcohol-use disorders.

ABSTRACTKisspeptin-expressing neurons in the rostral periventricular region of the third ventricle (RP3V) play an essential role in female reproduction. However, adult male mice were reported to have very few Kisspeptin-expressing neurons in the RP3V compared to females. This led to the hypothesis that Kiss1RP3V neurons are responsible for the ability of females, but not males, to generate a surge of LH, triggering ovulation and steroid synthesis in the female. Using mouse genetics and cell type-specific gene expression analysis, we show that male mice harbor almost as many Kiss1RP3V neurons as the female and that gene expression in these neurons is very similar. Specific activation of male Kiss1RP3V neurons expressing viral-encoded hM3Dq caused a surge in serum testosterone levels. These results demonstrate that Kiss1RP3V neurons are present in the adult male and fully capable of regulating the hypothalamic/pituitary/gonadal axis. We suggest that these neurons may continue to play a role in reproductive behavior in adult male mice.
