Myrtenal improves memory deficits in mice exposed to radiofrequency-electromagnetic radiation during gestational and neonatal development enhancing oxido-inflammatory, and neurotransmitter functions.

Objective: Radiofrequency-electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) exposure during gestational and neonatal development may interact with the foetus and neonate considered hypersensitive to RF-EMR, consequently resulting in developmental defects associated with neuropsychological and neurobehavioral disorders, including learning and memory impairment. This study assessed the potential of Myrtenal (Myrt) to improve memory deficits in C57BL/6 mice exposed to RF-EMR during gestational and neonatal development.

Method: Thirty-five male mice were randomly allocated into 5 cohorts, each comprising of 7 mice.

Myrtenal mitigates streptozotocin-induced spatial memory deficit via improving oxido inflammatory, cholinergic and neurotransmitter functions in mice.

The occurrence of chronic neurodegenerative disorders is on the rise, but with no effective treatment due to the paucity of information on the pathological mechanism underlying these disorders. Thus, this study investigated the role of oral administration of myrtenal in mitigating memory deficits and neuro-biochemical alterations in streptozotocin-demented mice model. Mice (n ​= ​35) were randomly allocated into five cohorts consisting of 7 mice each; Group I: Control mice received vehicle alone; Group II: streptozotocin; Group III: streptozotocin + 100 ​mg/kg myrtenal; Group IV: streptozotocin +200 ​mg/kg myrtenal; and Group V: streptozotocin ​+ ​donepezil 0.

Flavonoid fractions of diosmin and hesperidin mitigate lead acetate-induced biochemical, oxidative stress, and histopathological alterations in Wistar rats.

This study aims at investigating the protective effects of flavonoid fractions of diosmin and hesperidin in mitigating sub-chronic lead acetate-induced biochemical, oxidative stress, and histopathological alterations in adult male Wistar rats. Forty animals were randomly assigned into five groups, each consisting of eight animals. Group I animals was treated with deionised water only, group II, IV, and V were administered lead acetate 90 mg/Kg body weight (1/20th of the LD), groups III, and IV was administered Daflon (100 mg/Kg), while group V was administered Daflon (200 mg/Kg), 30 min prior treatment with lead acetate.
