Abstract
Rumex acetosa L. (RA), also called sorrel, has been used in traditional medicine owing to its many of biological activities. However, molecular mechanisms underlying the ability of RA to modulate cognitive functions against memory impairment induced by scopolamine (SCO) through anti-inflammatory and -apoptotic activities have not been investigated. Memory impairment assessed using the MWM test. RA significantly decreased escape latency on the acquisition and retention trials of the training days and increased the time to enter the platform quadrant during the probe trial. Furthermore, RA significantly decreased AChE activity, pro-inflammatory cytokines concentrations and the apoptotic signaling proteins and elevated the protein concentrations of PSD-95, phosphorylated ERK1/2 and Akt in the hippocampus. Collectively, these results suggest that RA improves cognitive function in rats with SCO-induced memory impairment by regulating AChE activity and through its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects, which associated with the upregulation of synaptic plasticity.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
