Alleviatory Effects of Danshen, Salvianolic Acid A and Salvianolic Acid B on Pc12 Neuronal Cells and Drosophila Melanogaster Model of Alzheimer’s Disease
Abstract:Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Its pathogenesis involves the hallmark aggregation of amyloid-beta (Aβ). Of all the Aβ oligomers formed in the brain, Aβ42 has been found to be the most toxic and aggressive. Despite this, the mechanism behind this disease remains elusive. Danshen water extract (DWE), obtained from the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, was found to have a vast array of beneficial properties. In this study, DWE, and its major … Show more
