In the present study, the effects of the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme inhibitor rivastigmine (RIVA) on spike-wave discharges (SWDs), memory impairment, anxiety-like behavior, and the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) gene expression were investigated in genetic absence epileptic Wistar Albino Glaxo/Rijswijk (WAG/Rij) rats. After tripolar electrodes were implanted on the WAG/Rij rats' skulls, single doses of 0.125, 0.

Background: The current study aimed to investigate the chemical interaction of naringenin with the possible receptors and enzymes involved in the pathogenesis of cognitive deficits and tested their ADME and toxicity. Furthermore, in-vivo studies have also done to evaluate the effect of naringenin and its nanoparticles on STZ-induced cognitive decline in mice.
Method: Naringenin were evaluated against the active sites of β-secretase 1 (PDB: 3UQU), human insulin-degrading enzyme (PDB: 4RE9), insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (PDB: 1IR3), glycogen synthase kinase-3 β (PDB: 3L1S), phosphoprotein phosphatase 2A (PDB: 3P71), human superoxide dismutase I (PDB: 5YT0), catalase-3 (PDB:3EJ6), and human acetylcholinesterase (PDB: 4EY7) in comparison of rivastigmine using molecular docking studies.

Background: The increasing prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly among women post-menopause, is linked to the decline in 17 β estradiol (E2). Vitamin D deficiency, common in older individuals, exacerbates this risk due to its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Hypovitaminosis D is associated with age-related conditions, including cognitive decline.

Background: Sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD) is the most prevalent type of dementia, characterized by progressive neurodegeneration. Intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of streptozotocin (STZ) serves as a model for sAD, inducing neurodegeneration through oxidative stress, apoptotic damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation. Fenchone, a monoterpenoid, has been reported to possess neuroprotective properties by attenuating oxidative stress, acetylcholinesterase activity, mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation.

Background: This pilot study addresses unmet needs for empirical evidence on real-world data (RWD) on sleep to inform pharmacological management in older adults at-risk for neurodegenerative conditions. Polypharmacy is prevalent among older adults, with potential adverse effects on physiological functions, including sleep. Sleep disturbances are prevalent in aging, may signal onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD), potentially contributing to the underlying pathology.
