The effects of chronic administration of pioglitazone on learning and memory in streptoztocin rat model of Alzheimer’s disease
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease characterized by abnormal protein accumulation, synaptic dysfunction, and cognitive impairment. Peroxisome proliferator-activated gamma receptors (PPARγ) play a crucial role in regulating insulin sensitivity and may serve as potential therapeutic targets for AD. Pioglitazone (Piog) as a PPARγ agonist reduce β-amyloid ...
متن کاملGenetic modulation of soluble Aβ rescues cognitive and synaptic impairment in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.
An unresolved debate in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is whether amyloid plaques are pathogenic, causing overt physical disruption of neural circuits, or protective, sequestering soluble forms of amyloid-β (Aβ) that initiate synaptic damage and cognitive decline. Few animal models of AD have been capable of isolating the relative contribution made by soluble and insoluble forms of Aβ to the behavior...
متن کاملThe reversal effect of mefenamic acid in the sporadic model of Alzheimer's disease in rat: a behavioral analysis
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease causing progressive impairment of memory and cognitive function. Streptozotocin (STZ) injection into the brain is known to cause cognitive impairment in rats and is similar to sporadic AD in humans. Several lines of evidence have indicated that an inflammatory process contributes to the pathology of AD. On the basis of the results ...

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...
