In vitro cholinesterase inhibitory activity of Areca catechu L.
Background and objectives: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized as the most prevalent age related neurodegenerative disease along with cognitive impairment in elderly people. Most of therapeutic treatments for AD have dedicated to the inhibition of cholinesterase (ChEs) to increase the level of acetylcholine (ACh) in the cholinergic synaptic cleft. Acetylcholinesterase (AC...
متن کاملComparison of Neuroprotective Effects of Melissa officinalis Total Extract and Its Acidic and Non-Acidic Fractions against A β-Induced Toxicity
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that was characterized with deposit of beta amyloid (Aβ) aggregate in senile plaque. Oxidative damage to neurons and loss of cholinergic neurons in forebrain region are observed in this disease. Melissa officinalis is a medicinal plant from Lamiaceae family, used traditionally in the treatment of cognitive disorders. It has cholinomimeti...

متن کاملChanges in hippocampal connectivity in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease: evidence from resting state fMRI.
A selective distribution of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathological lesions in specific cortical layers isolates the hippocampus from the rest of the brain. However, functional connectivity between the hippocampus and other brain regions remains unclear in AD. Here, we employ a resting state functional MRI (fMRI) to examine changes in hippocampal connectivity comparing 13 patients with mild AD ve...
متن کاملPerspectives on How Human Simultaneous Multi-Modal Imaging Adds Directionality to Spread Models of Alzheimer’s Disease
Previous animal research suggests that the spread of pathological agents in Alzheimer's disease (AD) follows the direction of signaling pathways. Specifically, tau pathology has been suggested to propagate in an infection-like mode along axons, from transentorhinal cortices to medial temporal lobe cortices and consequently to other cortical regions, while amyloid-beta (Aβ) pathology seems to sp...
