Tangeretin offers neuroprotection against colchicine-induced memory impairment in Wistar rats by modulating the antioxidant milieu, inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress in t... by Olalekan Bukunmi Ogunro, Mojisola Esther Karigidi, Gideon Ampoma Gyebi, Areej Turkistani, Ahmad H. Almehmadi

“…Results The biochemical analysis showed that chronic administration of tangeretin effectively reversed the colchicine-induced increase in the level/activity of lipid peroxidation, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), myeloperoxidase (MPO), nitrite, reactive oxygen species (ROS), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), serotonin, dopamine, glutamate, amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide, and caspase-3. Tangeretin also reversed the colchicine-induced reduction in the level/activity of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), amma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), glutathione S-Transferase (GST), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), reduced glutathione (GSH), and total thiol (T-SH) in rat brains. …”
