Efeito anticonvulsivante e ansiolítico do lipídio do leite caprino enriquecido com ácido linoleico conjugado em camundongos swiss

Goat's milk is rich in short-chain fatty acids (caproic, caprylic and capric) and average-chain fatty acids (myristic and lauric acid), besides having Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), which has demonstrated neuroprotective effects. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the anticonvulsant effects of the lipids from goat milk enriched with CLA in Swiss mice. Animals received by gavage 1 ml/100g of fat goat milk (LIP group) or water (CONT group) for 30 days. After supplementation, it was performed maximal electroshock test (MES), the test of induced convulsions by pentilenotrazol (PTZ) and the kindling model. It was also carried out evaluation tests of locomotor (rota-rod and open-field) and anxiolytic (elevated plus maze - EPM) activity and biochemical evaluation of the animals. LIP group demonstrated a significantly lower consumption of feed when compared to the control (CONT 7.4 ± 0.9g, LIP 5.6 ± 0.9g LIP; p
