Effect of Centella asiatica on cognitive deficits caused in trimethyltin-induced neurotoxicity model mice
Tóm tắt
Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. is a nootropic that has been used medicinally for centuries. The present study investigates the anti-dementia effect of an n-butanol extract of Centella asiatica in a mouse model of neurodegeneration caused by trimethyltin (TMT). Mice were administered Centella asiatica extract (150 and 540 mg/kg) or a reference drug, tacrine
(2.1 mg/kg), daily for one week before TMT injection and during tests to analyse spatial short-term and spatial working memory. The treatment of mice with TMT caused deficits in short-term spatial working memory and decreased the number of pyramidal cells in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 regions elucidated by Nissl staining at 28 d post-TMT treatment...
