Abstract EN
The effects of modafinil (MD) on behavioral and oxidative damage to protein and lipid in the brain of rats were evaluated.
Wistar rats were given a single administration by gavage of water or MD (75, 150, or 300 mg/kg).
Behavioral parameters were evaluated in open-field apparatus 1, 2, and 3 h after drug administration.
Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and protein carbonyl formation were measured in the brain.
MD increased locomotor activity at the highest dose 1 and 3 h after administration.
MD administration at the dose of 300 mg/kg increased visits to the center of open-field 1 h after administration; however, 3 h after administration, all administered doses of MD increased visits to the open-field center.
MD 300 mg/kg increased lipid damage in the amygdala, hippocampus, and striatum.
Besides, MD increased protein damage in the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus; however, this effect varies depending on the dose administered.
In contrast, the administration of MD 75 and 300 mg/kg decreased the protein damage in the striatum.
This study demonstrated that the MD administration induces behavioral changes, which was depending on the dose used.
In addition, the effects of MD on oxidative damage parameters seemed to be in specific brain region and doses.
