In the present study, and acorn kernels were taken as the research objects, and the free polyphenols and bound polyphenols in acorn kernels were extracted using improved ultrasound-assisted ethanolic and alkaline extraction methods, after which the contents of gallic acid, quercetin, azelaic acid, ellagic acid, and ferulic acid were quantified by LC-MC/MS. The results demonstrated that and acorns were suitable as raw materials to extract ellagic acid, the contents of ferulic acid and bound gallic acid in them were different, and acorns were more suitable for the research of gallic acid, but not for azelaic acid. Results on APP/PS1 transgenic mice verified that five polyphenols significantly suppressed the progression of AD.

However, whether circadian disruptions accelerate the progression of Alzheimer's disease and the respective pathway remains unclear. In this study, we constructed animal models using male C57BL/6N and APP/PS1 mice.

Therefore, this study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of lactoferrin (LF) in the treatments of AD and ulcerative colitis (UC) that is susceptible to AD, starting from the principle of one drug, two diseases, and the same treatment. This study used pathological staining and specific indicator staining to preliminarily evaluate the interventions of LF on UC injury and AD progression.
