NEUROPROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF CARNOSIC ACID IN AN EXPERIMENTAL MODEL OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE IN RATS
2011
Objective:
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of neurodegenerative disorder. It has been suggested that oxidative stress can be one of the pathological mechanisms of this disease. Carnosic acid (CA) is an effective antioxidant substance and recent studies have shown that its electrophilic compounds play a role in reversing oxidative stress. Thus we tried to find out whether CA administration protects hippocampal neurons, preventing neurodegeneration in rats.
