Özet
Maternal high fat diet (HFD) affects the neurodevelopment of offspring and has long-term consequences on cognitive behavior. This study investigated changes occurring in GRP78 and PERK, important markers of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) signaling, in the hippocampus of female adult rats exposed to maternal HFD, and in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling, with its important role in the regulation of cognitive behavior, and the potential neuroprotective effects of N-acetylcysteine ​​(NAC) against these changes. A maternal obesity model was created with HFD (60% kcal). NAC (150 mg/kg) was administered intragastrically to both the NAC and HFD + NAC groups. The animals were mated at 12 weeks of age. The same diet was maintained throughout pregnancy and lactation. All female rat pups were subjected to the water maze test at eight weeks of age. Hippocampal GRP78 and PERK …
