“…Chronic treatment with tangeretin (at doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg, p.o. once daily) and donepezil hydrochloride (at a dose of 10 mg/kg, p.o. daily) for 28 days, starting seven days before colchicine injection, significantly ameliorated colchicine-induced cognitive impairment. 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. …”
