Effect of Long-term Exposure to Extremely Low-frequency Electromagnetic Fields on β-amyloid Deposition and Microglia Cells in an Alzheimer Model in Rats

Background: Recently, researchers have considered extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs), as one of the non-invasive therapies, in the treatment of many severe neurological disorders, including Alzheimer Disease (AD). AD is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the deposition of amyloid plaques in the brain. However, the increase in microglial cells increas...

Screening seven Iranian medicinal plants for protective effects against β-Amyloid-induced cytotoxicity in cultured cerebellar granule neurons

Background and objectives: Alzheimer's disease (AD) as a neurodegenerative disorder is the most common form of dementia in the elderly. According to the amyloid hypothesis, accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques, which are mostly constituted of Aβ peptide aggregates, triggers pathological cascades that lead to neuronal cell death. Thus, modulation of Aβ toxicity is the hopef...

Alteration in the Expression of Alzheimer's-Related Genes in Rat Hippocampus by Exercise and Morphine Treatments

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder, which slowly eliminates memory and intellectual ability and eventually destroys the ability to carry out the simple tasks. β amyloid plaque and neurofibrillary tangles are two important signatures of this disease, which caused by mutant in Tau, BACE1, and APP genes. They could be important targets for treatment of Alzheimer's di...

The recent development in synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of small molecule to treat Alzheimer's diseases: A review

Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder in which the death of brain cells causes memory loss and cognitive decline. A neurodegenerative type of dementia, the disease starts mild and gets progressively worse. Like all types of dementia, Alzheimer's is caused by brain cell death. The most common presentation marking Alzheimer's dementia is where symptoms of memory loss are the most promine...
