The Effect of Zeolite Zinc on Memory Performance and Hippocampal Cell Death in a Rat Model of Alzheimer's-like Disease Induced by Aβ.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by the slow and progressive loss of brain structure and function, primarily affecting older individuals. Evidence has shown that disruption of zinc homeostasis in the brain contributes to synaptic dysfunction, as well as impairments in learning and memory. In this study, we evaluated the effect of zeolite zinc on memory performance and hippocampal cell death in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) induced by intracerebroventricular administration of Aβ.
