Arbutin intervention ameliorates memory impairment in a rat model of lysolecethin induced demyelination: Neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects.

Cognitive impairment (CI) and memory deficit are prevalent manifestations of multiple sclerosis (MS). This study explores the therapeutic potential of arbutin on memory deficits using a rat hippocampal demyelination model induced by lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). Demyelination was induced by bilateral injection of 1% LPC into the CA1 area of the hippocampus, and the treated group received daily arbutin injections (50 mg/kg, i.
