- W3147515144 abstract "Ethnobotanical enquiries have revealed that Khaya anthotheca (Welw.) C.DC (Meliaceae) has anxiolytic properties and is used to alleviate vaginal dryness in postmenopausal women in Cameroon. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ameliorative effects of the aqueous extract of K. anthotheca in vanadium induced anxiety, memory loss and pathologies in the brain and ovary of mice. Forty neonatal female mice were used in this study. All animals received vanadium (3 mg/kg BW/72 h, by lactation and i.p.) for 20 weeks except the Control group. At 16 weeks old, mice were divided into 5 groups (n = 8): Control group received distilled water; V-group received vanadium (V) (3 mg/kg BW every 72 h i.p.), V + Vit E group received vitamin E (500 mg/kg BW/72 h) and vanadium (V) (3 mg/kg BW/72 h i.p, simultaneously). V + KA 125 and V + KA 250 groups received K. anthotheca extract at the doses of 125 and 250 mg/kg BW/day respectively and vanadium (V) (3 mg/kg BW/72 h i.p, simultaneously).The treatment was done per os at 10 mL/kg of volume of administration for 4 weeks. To evalute anxiolytic effects and spatial working memory improved by the extract in mice, the elevated open space test and Y maze test were used respectively. After sacrifice, brains were harvested and pathologies were assessed using cresyl violet stainning and immunohistochemistry (GFAP, Iba-1 and MBP), while pathologies in the ovaries were assessed using immunohistochemistry (Collagen type 1) and H&E stainning. Results in the three sessions of elevated open space test showed that vanadium exposure resulted in a significant (p < 0.05; p < 0.01) increase of the latency of first entry in the slopes and a significant (p < 0.05; p < 0.01; p < 0.001) decrease of the time spent and number of entries in the slopes however, Khaya anthotheca treatment induced a significant (p < 0.05; p < 0.01) decrease of the latency of first entry in the slopes and a significant (p < 0.05; p < 0.01) increase of the time spent and number of entries in the slopes. In the Y maze test, vanadium exposure resulted in a significant decrease (p < 0.01) in the percentage of correct alternation, K. anthotheca extract at the dose of 250 mg/kg BW however induced a significant (p < 0.05) increase of this percentage of correct spontaneous alternation. In the brain, degeneration induced by vanadium exposure was marked by an increase of GFAP-immunoreactive cells, microgliosis and demyelination. The treatment with Khaya anthotheca extract at the dose of 250 mg/kg BW resulted in the preservation of cellular integrity in the same anatomical regions with reduced astroglial and microglial activation and prevented demyelination. In addition, vanadium exposure decreased Collagen type 1 expression in the ovaries and induced a deterioration of tertiary follicle. Khaya anthotheca treatment at the dose of 250 mg/kg BW induced an increase of expression of Collagen type 1 and alleviated deterioration of the microarchitecture of tertiary follicle induced by vanadium. These effects induced by K. anthotheca extract could justify the traditional use of this plant in Cameroonian traditional medicine to manage anxiety. Therefore, to minimise vanadium induced toxicity, the plant should be given more emphasis as a candidate in developing a modern phytodrug." @default.
