| Abstract | This study was designed to evaluate the effects of bis selenide on Huntington disease (HD)-like signs induced by 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP) in rats. To this aim, rats were treated for 4 days with bis selenide (5 or 20 mg/kg/day, per oral) 30 min before 3-NP (20 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneally). The body weight gain, locomotor activity, motor coordination, and biochemical parameters in striatal preparations were assessed 24 h after the last injection of 3-NP. The highest dose of bis selenide was effective in protecting against body weight loss and motor coordination deficit induced by 3-NP. The impairment of locomotor activity caused by 3-NP was abolished by bis selenide at both doses. Bis selenide (5 and 20 mg/kg) partially restored succinate dehydrogenase activity inhibited after 3-NP exposure. The dose of 20 mg/kg of bis selenide recovered partially δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase activity, and totally Na$^{+}$, K$^{+}$-ATPase activity, two sulfhydryl enzymes sensitive to oxidizing agents, which had their activities inhibited by 3-NP. Also, 3-NP led to an increase in protein carbonyl levels and glutathione reductase activity and inhibited catalase activity—alterations that were reversed by bis selenide administration at both doses. The highest dose of bis selenide was effective against the increase of RS levels, the depletion of reduced glutathione content, and the inhibition of glutathione peroxidase activity induced by 3-NP. Bis selenide was not effective against inhibition of SOD activity caused by 3-NP. These findings demonstrate that bis selenide elicited protective effects against HD-like signs induced by 3-NP in rats. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
