[ 1 ] - Evaluation of the Effect of Aqueous Extract of Olibanum on the Expression of FMR1 and MAP1B Genes in the Rat Hippocampus

Introduction: The therapeutic properties of Olibanum have been considered in traditional medicine since ages past. Recent studies indicated the effect of Olibanum on memory enhancement and prevention/treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Fragile X mental retardation protein is the product of the FMR1 gene that mediates memory formation through the development of communications between nerve cells. ...

[ 2 ] - Beta-boswellic acid and ethanolic extract of Olibanum regulate the expression levels of CREB-1 and CREB-2 genes

Physiological studies confirm improvement of memory by Olibanum, a resin from Boswellia species, while little is known about the molecular mechanism by which it affects memory performance. Two master transcription factors, CREB-1 and CREB-2, regulate downstream memory-related genes expression, leading to the long-term memory potentiation. This study addresses the effects of Beta-boswellic acid ...

[ 4 ] - Frequency of rs2282649 and rs12285364 polymorphisms in SORL1 gene and their association with Alzheimer’s disease in Azari population in northwest of Iran

Background and Aim: Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia in old people. AD is a progressive and irreversible neurodegenerative brain disorder. Sortilin receptor 1 (SORL1) is involved in cellular trafficking of amyloid precursor protein and plays an essential role in amyloid-beta peptide generation in the AD. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the association of...
