主 题:Pomegranate Peel extract Ellagic acid Antioxidants Hippocampus Behavioural test
摘 要:Objective:To investigate the neuroprotective efficacy of pomegranate and ellagic acid on the histopathological changes in the hippocampus of an aluminium chloride(AlCl3)induced rat model of Alzheimer’s ***:Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups(n=10each):GroupⅠ:serving as negative control;GroupⅡ,Alzheimer model,induced by administration of 17 mg/kg bw AlCl3;GroupⅢ,administered the same dose of AlCl3 with 50 mg/kg of pomegranate peel extract and GroupⅣ:administered ellagic acid(50 mg/kg)in addition to the same dose of *** medication given to all groups continued for 28 *** were given the compounds by gastric *** arm maze test,hippocampus antioxidant markers,histopathology of the dentate gyrus,and CA3 of the hippocampus were ***:Rats treated with pomegranate peel extract exposed to radial arm maze test showed less number of errors and reduced time needed to reach the *** was an increase in the levels of glutathione,catalase,and total antioxidant capacity and decreased lipid peroxidation *** features in dentate gyrus and CA3 as apoptosis and chromatolysis of pyramidal cells and granular layer,respectively,were *** characteristic neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques were *** with ellagic acid ameliorated the pathological results but to a statistically lower ***:Pomegranate peel extract alleviates memory deficit and restores antioxidant homeostasis following degenerative changes in the hippocampus induced by aluminium chloride in rats.
