FPS-ZM1 (1 mg/kg/d; intraperitoneal injection; Once a day; In the AGEs RAGE activation model of Wistar rats at 4 weeks, the production of A β 1-40 and A β 1-42 in the hippocampus was reduced, the increase of A β metabolism related proteins (RAGE, BACE1, and APP) was inhibited, the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (p-NF - κ B, TNF - α, and IL-1 β) was downregulated, the antioxidant defense system was upregulated (reducing ROS and LPO levels, increasing GSH content, SOD and GPx activity), and AGEs induced memory damage in rats was alleviated.
| Animal Model: |
AGEs-RAGE-activated (intrahippocampal injection) rat model in Wistar rats (male, 6 weeks old) |
| Dosage: |
1 mg/kg/d |
| Administration: |
Intraperitoneal injection, once daily, for 4 weeks |
| Result: |
Reduced the levels of Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 in the hippocampus of rats.
Inhibited the increased expressions of Aβ metabolism-related proteins (RAGE, BACE1, and APP), pro-inflammatory cytokines (p-NF-κB, TNF-α, and IL-1β) induced by AGEs.
Upregulated the antioxidant defense system, with reduced levels of ROS and LPO, and increased content of GSH, and activities of SOD and GPx.
Also, alleviated the memory impairment of rats induced by AGEs, as shown by a significant decrease in the escape latency in the Morris water maze test. |
