This study investigates Se-phenyl-thiazolidine-4-carboselenoate (Se-PTC) protective activity against oxidative and behavioral stress in the model of mania induced by ouabain (OUA) in male rats. The compound used was Se-PTC (50 mg/kg) and the positive control LiCI (45 mg/kg) was administered for intragastric route (i.g.) 30 min prior to administration of OUA (10(-5)M). OUA was dissolved in artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) and administered at the 5 I through an intracerebroventricular (i.c.v) cannula. The pretreatment with Se-PTC was effective in preventing the increase in locomotor activity induced by OUA, however the positive control LiCI is capable to block crossing augmentation induced by OUA. Na+/K+-ATPase activity was significantly reduced in OUA group and the Se-PTC to normalize Na+/K+-ATPase activity. Pretreatment with Se-PTC protect against the increase in catalase activity and thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) content in the brain caused by OUA. Therefore, Se-PTC is effective against OUA-induced hyperactivity and alterations in brain oxidative status of rats. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
