Abstract

Objective To study the effect of baicalin on synaptosomal adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and its regulatory effect on the adenylate cyclase (AC) /cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) /protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway in rats with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods A total of 40 SHR rats were randomly divided into five groups:ADHD model, methylphenidate hydrochloride treatment (0.07 mg/mL), and low-dose (3.33 mg/mL), medium-dose (6.67 mg/mL), and high-dose (10 mg/mL) baicalin treatment (n=8 each). Eight WKY rats were selected as normal control group. Percoll density gradient centrifugation was used to prepare brain synaptosomes and an electron microscope was used to observe their structure. Colorimetry was used to measure the activities of ATPase and LDH in synaptosomes. ELISA was used to measure the content of AC, cAMP, and PKA. Results Compared with the normal control group, the ADHD model group had a significant reduction in the ATPase activity, a significant increase in the LDH activity, and significant reductions in the content of AC, cAMP, and PKA (P < 0.05). Compared with the ADHD model group, the methylphenidate hydrochloride group and the medium-and high-dose baicalin groups had a significant increase in the ATPase activity (P < 0.05), a significant reduction in the LDH activity (P < 0.05), and significant increases in the content of AC, cAMP, and PKA (P < 0.05). Compared with the methylphenidate hydrochloride group, the high-dose baicalin group had significantly greater changes in these indices (P < 0.05). Compared with the low-dose baicalin group, the high-dose baicalin group had a significant increase in the ATPase activity (P < 0.05); the medium-and high-dose baicalin groups had a significant reduction in the LDH activity (P < 0.05) and significant increases in the content of AC, cAMP, and PKA (P < 0.05). Compared with the medium-dose baicalin group, the high-dose baicalin group had a significant increase in the ATPase activity (P < 0.05). Conclusions Both methylphenidate hydrochloride and baicalin can improve synaptosomal ATPase and LDH activities in rats with ADHD. The effect of baicalin is dose-dependent, and high-dose baicalin has a significantly greater effect than methylphenidate hydrochloride. Baicalin exerts its therapeutic effect possibly by upregulating the AC/cAMP/PKA signaling pathway.
