Plant-derived flavanol (-)epicatechin enhances angiogenesis and retention of spatial memory in mice.
Diet and exercise have a profound impact on brain function. In particular, natural nutrients found in plants may influence neuronal survival and plasticity. Here, we tested whether consumption of a plant-derived flavanol, (-)epicatechin, enhances cognition in sedentary or wheel-running female C57BL/6 mice. Retention of spatial memory in the water maze was enhanced by ingestion of (-)epicatechin...
متن کاملA flavonol present in cocoa [(-)epicatechin] enhances snail memory.
Dietary consumption of flavonoids (plant phytochemicals) may improve memory and neuro-cognitive performance, though the mechanism is poorly understood. Previous work has assessed cognitive effects in vertebrates; here we assess the suitability of Lymnaea stagnalis as an invertebrate model to elucidate the effects of flavonoids on cognition. (-)Epicatechin (epi) is a flavonoid present in cocoa, ...
متن کاملAuraptene consolidates memory, reverses scopolamine-disrupted memory in passive avoidance task, and ameliorates retention deficits in mice
Objective(s): Auraptene (7-geranyloxycoumarin) (AUR), from Citrus species has shown anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and beta-secretase inhibitory effects. Scopolamine is a nonselective muscarinic receptor antagonist which causes short-term memory impairments and is used for inducing animal model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This research aimed to investigate ...
متن کاملextraction and characterization of allium irancum plant extract and its application in the green synthesis of silver nano particles and oxidation of thiocarbony1 compounds
سنتز سبز نانوذرات فلزی (nps) درسالهای اخیر توجه بسیارزیادی را به خود جلب کرده است. زیرا این پروتوکل کم هزینه وسازگار با محیط زیست از روش های استاندارد سنتز. در این پایان نامه ما گزارش میکنیم یک روش ساده و سازگار با محیط زیست برای سنتز نانوذرات نقره با استفاده از محلول آبی عصاره گیاه allium iranicum به عنوان یک عامل کاهش دهنده ی طبیعی. نانو ذرات نقره مشخص شد با استفاده از تکنیک های uv-visible، x...
CB2 Cannabinoid Receptor Knockout in Mice Impairs Contextual Long-Term Memory and Enhances Spatial Working Memory
Neurocognitive effects of cannabinoids have been extensively studied with a focus on CB1 cannabinoid receptors because CB1 receptors have been considered the major cannabinoid receptor in the nervous system. However, recent discoveries of CB2 cannabinoid receptors in the brain demand accurate determination of whether and how CB2 receptors are involved in the cognitive effects of cannabinoids. C...
