luteolin, as a natural polyphenolic compound, has neuroprotective effect and exerts its function by attenuation of apoptosis and oxidative stress factors. emerging evidences indicate that oxidative stress leads to neurodegeneration but is not the initial event and endoplasmic reticulum stress (er) is often considered to be the stimulus event which is caused by accumulating of misfolded proteins...

endoplasmic reticulum (er) stress provides abnormalities in insulin action, inflammatory responses, lipoprotein b100 degradation and hepatic lipogenesis. excess accumulation of triglyceride in hepatocytes may also lead to disorders such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (nash). opioid peptides are involved in triglyceride and cholesterol dysregulat...

Introduction: The functions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are important, particularly in the proteins’ synthesis, folding, modification, and transport. Based on traditional medicine and our previous studies on Zanthoxylum alatum in lipopolysaccharide-induced depressive behavior and scopolamine-induced impaired memory, the present study explored the role of hydroalcoholic extract of Z. alatu...
