Abstract
In a study involving APP transgenic mice, significant reductions in the expression of amyloid precursor protein and related proteins were observed with early application of Huannao Yicong Recipe extract.
- The Morris water maze test indicated a decline in learning and memory ability in 7-month-old APP transgenic mice compared to normal control mice.
- All treatment groups, including those receiving Huannao Yicong Recipe extract, showed improved performance in the Morris water maze compared to the model group.
- Significant increases in the levels of amyloid precursor protein, beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1, presenilin-1, and beta amyloid protein were noted in the hippocampus of untreated transgenic mice.
- Treatment with Huannao Yicong Recipe extract led to significant reductions in the levels of these proteins in the hippocampus compared to the untreated model group.
- These findings suggest that HNYCR extract may mitigate the pathological processes associated with Alzheimer's disease in APP transgenic mice.
