Abstract

Sleep is involved in maintaining energy, regulating heat, and recovering tissues. Furthermore, proper cognitive functions need sufficient sleep. Many studies have revealed the impairment effect of sleep deprivation (SD) on cognitive functions including learning and memory. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a potent free radical scavenger, biological antioxidant, and neuroprotective agent. Furthermore, ALA improves learning and memory performance, decreases oxidative stress, and enhances antioxidant biomarkers. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of ALA on social interaction and passive avoidance memories in sleep-deprived rats. Total sleep deprivation (TSD) apparatus was used to induce SD (for 24 h). Three-chamber paradigm test and shuttle box apparatus were used to evaluate social interaction and passive avoidance memory, respectively. Rats’ locomotor apparatus was used to assess locomotion. ALA was administered intraperitoneally at doses of 17 and 35 mg/kg for 3 consecutive days. The results showed SD impaired both types of memories. ALA at the dose of 35 mg/kg restored social interaction memory in sleep-deprived rats; while, at the dose of 17 mg/kg attenuated impairment effect of SD. Moreover, ALA at the dose of 35 mg/kg impaired passive avoidance memory in sham-SD rats and at both doses did not rescue passive avoidance memory in sleep-deprived rats. In conclusion, ALA showed impairment effect on passive avoidance memory, while improved social interaction memory in sleep-deprived rats. © 2020, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
