Octodon Degus: A Strong Attractor for Alzheimer Research
The most popular animal models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are transgenic mice expressing human genes with known mutations which do not represent the most abundant sporadic form of the disease. An increasing number of genetic, vascular and psychosocial data strongly support that the Octodon degus, a moderate-sized and diurnal precocial rodent, provides a naturalistic model for the study of the ...
متن کاملEffect of ghrelin on serum metabolites in Alzheimer’s disease model rats; a metabolomics studies based on 1H-NMR technique
Objective(s): Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is dysfunction of the central nervous system and as a neurodegenerative disease. The objective of this work is to investigate metabolic profiling in the serum of animal models of AD compared to healthy controls and then to peruse the role of ghrelin as a therapeutic approach for the AD.Materials and Methods: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique was u...
متن کاملThe effect of flavonoids in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease: review article
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent age-related neurodegenerative disorder worldwide, and no cure or prevention has been found for it. Extracellular senile plaque and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles are two important histopathological hallmarks of AD, which are both harmful for the cell. Senile plaques are composed of amyloid beta and neurofibrillary tangles are formed by hyper...
متن کاملCholinergic neuropathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease
Transgenic mice over-expressing mutant human amyloid precursor protein (PDAPP mouse) develop several Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-like lesions including an age-related accumulation of amyloid-?-containing neuritic plaques. Although aged, heterozygous PDAPP mice also exhibit synaptic and glial cell changes, that is characteristic of AD pathology, no evidence of neurodegeneration has been observed. T...
متن کاملZataria multiflora could improve hippocampal tau protein and TNFα levels and cognitive behavior defects in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease
Objective: Zataria multiflora (ZM) is a plant with ethnopharmacological value which was recently tested to reduce symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of ZM essential oil on spatial cognitive and noncognitive behavior, as well as hippocampal tau protein and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) concentrations in ra...
