Recombinant Proteins> | Protein concentration was determined using Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (ThermoScientific, Waltham, MA, USA) according to manufactory protocol. About 30μg of denatured proteinwere separated on a 4–20% SDS-PAGE gel (Genscript, Piscataway, NJ, USA) and transferred to anImmobilon polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). | Get A Quote |
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a serious threat for the aging society.In this study,we examined the preventive effect of the total prenylflavonoids (TPFB) prepared from the driedfruits ofPsoralea corylifoliaL., using an age-related AD mouse model SAMP8. We found thatlong-term dietary TPFB at 50 mg/kg·day significantly improved cognitive performance of theSAMP8 mice in Morris water maze tests, similar to 150 mg/kg·day of resveratrol, a popularneuro-protective compound. Furthermore, TPFB treatment showed significant improvements invarious AD markers in SAMP8 brains, which were restored to near control levels of the normalmice, SAMR1. TPFB significantly reduce... More
