Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is reported to have a neuroprotective activity; however, the role of HS in neuroinflammation-induced neuronal damage is ambiguous. Here, we aimed to evaluate the underlying mechanisms for the neuroprotective effect of NaHS, a known HS donor, against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced memory impairment (MI). All the treatments were administered for 28 days, and LPS (0.

Systemic administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces neuroinflammation resulting in memory impairment (MI) and cognitive decline. In this study, we evaluated whether prophylactic administration of Rosmarinic acid (RA), a naturally occurring compound, exerts a neuroprotective effect in LPS-induced MI and cognitive decline.

Insulin signaling is impaired in AD brains due to insulin resistance, ultimately resulting in the formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). AD and T2DM are connected at molecular, clinical, and epidemiological levels making it imperative to understand the contribution of T2DM, and other metabolic disorders, to AD pathogenesis.
