Extracts of Glycyrrhiza uralensis and isoliquiritigenin counteract amyloid-β toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Alzheimer's disease is a rising threat for modern societies as more and more people reach old age. To date, there is no effective treatment for this condition. In this study, we investigated the potential of Glycyrrhiza uralensis to counteract amyloid-β toxicity, one of the key features of Alzheimer's disease. An LC-MS/MS analysis revealed glycyrrhizic acid and glycosylated forms of isoliquirit...
متن کاملCarqueja (Baccharis trimera) Protects against Oxidative Stress and β-Amyloid-Induced Toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans
Carqueja (Baccharis trimera) is a native plant found throughout South America. Several studies have shown that Carqueja has antioxidant activity in vitro, as well as anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, analgesic, antihepatotoxic, and antimutagenic properties. However, studies regarding its antioxidant potential in vivo are limited. In this study, we used Caenorhabditis elegans as a model to examin...
متن کاملGenetic mechanisms of coffee extract protection in a Caenorhabditis elegans model of β-amyloid peptide toxicity.
Epidemiological studies have reported that coffee and/or caffeine consumption may reduce Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. We found that coffee extracts can similarly protect against β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) toxicity in a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans Alzheimer's disease model. The primary protective component(s) in this model is not caffeine, although caffeine by itself can show moderate protec...
متن کاملLycium extracts protect against β amyloid-induced pathological behaviors through UPRmt in transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans
Lycium barbarum, a classic Chinese medicine, has a large variety of biological activities, including improvements in immunity, as well as anti-aging and anti-oxidation activities. It has been used to improve or restore deteriorating functions related to aging and diseases. Although its nerve protection effects also have been proved in vitro and in vivo, the molecular mechanism of action is not ...
متن کاملA Cocoa Peptide Protects Caenorhabditis elegans from Oxidative Stress and β-Amyloid Peptide Toxicity
BACKGROUND Cocoa and cocoa-based products contain different compounds with beneficial properties for human health. Polyphenols are the most frequently studied, and display antioxidant properties. Moreover, protein content is a very interesting source of antioxidant bioactive peptides, which can be used therapeutically for the prevention of age-related diseases. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS ...
