Abstract
Objectives: The two flavonoids kaempferol and chrysin are known to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In addition, these two flavonoids were reported to display synergistic effects against inflammation. The present study aims to provide an analysis of the combined effects of kaempferol and chrysin on ischemic rat brain induced by endothelin-1.
Methods: The neurological deficit score and infarct area of the brain were determined post drug treatment. Histopathological sections displayed the morphological changes in the brain tissue. The brain tissues were processed for assessing the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity by measuring superoxide dismutase activity, catalase activity, level of reduced glutathione, brain malondialdehyde, and amount of calcium. The expression level of inflammatory molecules was analyzed by western blotting and immunohistochemistry.
Results: The infarct area, neurological score and NF-κB and STAT3 expression levels were significantly reduced.
Discussion: The analysis of neuroprotective synergistic activity of kaempferol and chrysin indicated the therapeutic potential of the combination in alleviating cerebral ischemia by controlling expression of proinflammatory mediators.
期刊介绍:
Nutritional Neuroscience is an international, interdisciplinary broad-based, online journal for reporting both basic and clinical research in the field of nutrition that relates to the central and peripheral nervous system. Studies may include the role of different components of normal diet (protein, carbohydrate, fat, moderate use of alcohol, etc.), dietary supplements (minerals, vitamins, hormones, herbs, etc.), and food additives (artificial flavours, colours, sweeteners, etc.) on neurochemistry, neurobiology, and behavioural biology of all vertebrate and invertebrate organisms. Ideally this journal will serve as a forum for neuroscientists, nutritionists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and those interested in preventive medicine.
