Neuroprotective effects of epigallocatechin-3-gallate in an experimental model of Alzheimer’s disease in rat: a histological study
Abstract Introduction: Neurodegeneration change is one of the hallmark symptoms of which Alzheimer’s disease (AD) can be modeled by β-amyloid injection into specific regions of brain. (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a potent antioxidant agent that its role against oxidative stress and inflammation has been shown in prior studies. In the present study, we have wanted to determine wh...
متن کاملThe Beneficial Effect of (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate in an Experimental Model of Alzheimer’s disease in Rat: a Behavioral Analysis
Progressive cognitive decline is one of the hallmark symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) which can be modeled by β-amyloid injection into specific regions of brain. Since epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a potent antioxidant agent which its role against oxidative stress and inflammation has been shown in prior studies, we tried to determine whether EGCG administration protects against β-am...
متن کاملEffects of Epigallocatechin Gallate on Tissue Lipid Peroxide Levels in Traumatized Spinal Cord of Rat
Objective(s) Recent studies revealed the neuroprotective effects of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on a variety of neural injury .The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of EGCG on the tissue lipid peroxidation after spinal cord injury (SCI). Materials and Methods Rats were randomly divided into four groups of 7 rats each as follows: sham-operated group, trauma group, and EGC...
متن کاملGreen Tea Polyphenol Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate Attenuates Behavioral Abnormality in Hemi-Parkinsonian Rat
Background: Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a major constituent of green tea, has been introduced as a potent free radical scavenger and can effectively reduce free radical-induced lipid peroxidation. Since free radical injury plays an important role in neuronal damage in Parkinson’s disease (PD), this study examined whether EGCG administration would reduce functional asymmetry in an experimen...
متن کاملEffect of Epigallocatechin Gallate and Catechin on Overexpression of GSK-3β and IR Genes Induced by Streptozotocin in Rat Brain
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the significant risk factors for Alzheimer disease (AD). Defects in insulin signaling pathway induce AD hallmarks mainly through activation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) pathway. Objectives: In this study, we investigated the expression of GSK-3β and insulin receptor (IR) genes in the hippocampi of an animal model of sporadic AD ...
