Aging and age-related neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by the dysfunction or loss of brain nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), these changes may be related to other senescence markers, such as oxidative stress DNA repair dysfunction. However, mechanism nAChR in aging modification this process drugs (e.g., memantine, Mem) not yet fully understood. To study whether differences expression rat occur due modulated Mem, we analyzed subunits (at RNA protein levels) biomarkers real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) Western blot validation. Twenty-one female Wistar rats were divided into four groups, depending on age, oldest group received injections Mem water with use intragastric catheters. We studied cerebral grey matter (CGM), subcortical white (SCWM), cerebellum (Ce). Results showed an decrease α7 mRNA level SCWM. The was accompanied reduced 8-oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (OGG1) increased tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) level. In group, observed a higher SCWM Ce. Biomarker levels changed, but different extent area. Importantly, antioxidative status stopped even regressed under treatment. After two weeks treatment, increase TP53 8-oxo-2'deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-2'dG) observed. conclude that administration protective against mechanisms.
