Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effects of troxerutin consumption during gestation on reflexive motor behavior in mice offspring. Forty pregnant female mice were allocated into four groups. In the control group, mice received water, while in groups 2-4, female mice p.o. administered troxerutin (50, 100, and 150 mg/kg) at 5, 8, 11, 14, and 17 days of gestation (GD). Following delivery, pups were selected based on their experimental group, and reflexive motor behaviors were determined. Also, serum malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and total antioxidant status (TAS) were determined. Based on the findings, maternal exposure to troxerutin (100 and 150 mg/kg) increased ambulation scores in offspring's compared with control group (P < 0.05). Also, prenatal exposure to troxerutin increased front- and hind-limb suspension scores in newborns compared with control group (P < 0.05). Maternal exposure to troxerutin increased grip strength and negative geotaxis in newborns in comparison with control mice (P < 0.05). Prenatal exposure to troxerutin (100 and 150 mg/kg) decreased hind-limb foot angle and surface righting in pups compared with control group (P < 0.05). Maternal exposure to troxerutin decreased MDA production and increased SOD, GPx, and TAS levels in offspring (P < 0.05). These results suggested that prenatal consumption of the troxerutin improves reflexive motor behaviors in mice pups.Keywords
