主 题:Alzheimer's disease ligustrazine hyperhomocysteinemia phosphorylated tau cognitive impairment
摘 要:Ligustrazine,an alkaloid extracted from the traditional Chinese herbal medicine Ligusticum Chuanxiong Hort,has been clinically applied to treat the cerebrovascular ***(Hhcy)is an independent risk factor for Alzheimer s disease(AD).Memory deficits can be caused by Hhcy via pathologies of Aβ-like tau and amyloid-β(Aβ)in the ***,we investigated whether homocysteine(Hey)can induce Aβ-like pathologies and the effects of ligustrazine on these *** Hey rat model was constructed by 14-day Hey injection via vena caudalis,and rats were treated with daily intragastric administration of ligustrazine at the same *** found that the pathologies of tau and Aβ were induced by Hey in the hippocampus,while the Hcy-induced tau hyperphosphorylation and Aβ accumulation could be markedly attenuated by simultaneous ligustrazine *** data demonstrate that ligustrazine may be used as a promising neuroprotective agent to treat the Hcy-induced Aβ-like pathologies.
