The mechanisms underlying diabetic encephalopathy, are largely unknown. Here, we examined whether docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and lutein could attenuate the oxidative changes of the diabetic cerebral cortex. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) were significantly increased and glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase activity (GPx) were decreased in diabetic rats. The number of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) positive cells was increased. Treatment with insulin, lutein or DHA and the combination of each antioxidant with insulin, significantly restored all markers concentrations mentioned above, and the increase in 4-HNE inmunofluorescence. We combined 4-HNE immunofluorescence with NeuN (Neuronal Nuclei) staining. The latter demonstrated extensive overlap with the 4-HNE staining in the cortex from diabetic rats. Our findings demonstrate a clear participation of glucose-induced oxidative stress in the diabetic encephalopathy, and that the cells suffering oxidative stress are neurons. Lowering oxidative stress through the administration of different antioxidants may be beneficial for the central nervous tissue in diabetes. (C) 2010 IBRO. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
