Resumo: ObjectiveThe objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of early protein malnutrition on the socialmemory of adult rats (Rattus norvegicus) using an experimental procedure. MethodsThe animals received isocaloric diets containing 6% or 16% of protein during the lactation phase (0-21 daysof age) and a commercial lab chow as from 22 days of age. The social memory test consisted of, after 2 dailyhabituation sessions (7minutes/session), to introduce an adult rat (100-114 days of age) and a young rat(30-44 days of age) into an acrylic cage (90cm.x.90cm.x.45cm), for two sessions separated by intervals of 30(Experiment 1) or 15 (Experiment 2) minutes. Social contact was defined as exploration/sniffing the anogenitalregion of the rat. The difference in the time spent in social contact between the first and second sessions wasdefined as the memory index. ResultsNo differences were observed in Experiment 1 due to the diet conditions. In Experiment 2, social contactdecreased from the first to the second session in the controls (p<0.05) in contrast to the malnourishedanimals, who showed no differences. ConclusionThese results suggest that early protein malnutrition impairs the social memory in adult rats.

MétodosOs animais receberam dietas isocalóricas contendo 6% ou 16% de proteína do nascimento aos 21 dias, e dieta comercial a partir de 22 dias de idade. O teste de memória social consistiu em, após duas sessões de habituação (7 minutos/sessão), introduzir um animal adulto (100-114 dias de idade) e um outro jovem (30-44 dias de idade) em uma arena de acrílico (90cm x 90cm x 45cm) em duas sessões separadas por intervalos de 30 (experimento 1) ou 15 minutos (experimento 2). O contato social foi definido como investigação (ato de cheirar/inspecionar a região anogenital). A diferença no tempo de contato entre a primeira e a segunda exposição é considerada um índice de memória social. ResultadosNenhuma diferença devida à dieta foi observada no experimento 1. No experimento 2 houve redução no tempo de contato social dos animais-controle da primeira para a segunda exposição (p<0,05) e não houve alteração nos animais desnutridos. ConclusãoEsses resultados sugerem que a desnutrição protéica precoce prejudica a memória social de ratos adultos.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-09-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9781Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 19 No. 2 (2006): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 19 Núm. 2 (2006): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 19 n. 2 (2006): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9781/7121Copyright (c) 2023 Viviane Consiglio da SILVA, Sebastião de Sousa ALMEIDAhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessConsiglio da SILVA, Viviane de Sousa ALMEIDA, Sebastião 2023-09-19T19:20:47Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/9781Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-09-19T19:20:47Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
