CZYH Alleviates β-Amyloid-Induced Cognitive Impairment and Inflammation Response via Modulation of JNK and NF-κB Pathway in Rats by Yuanyuan Deng, Lianzhi Ye, Cheng Yu, Caixia Yin, Jingshan Shi, Qihai Gong

“…The Morris water maze test revealed that CZYH (400 or 800 mg/kg) administration improved the Aβ25-35-induced cognitive impairments in rats, and Nissl staining demonstrated that CZYH mitigated the Aβ-caused neuron loss. In addition, CZYH treatment markedly inhibited the activation of microglia as evidenced by a decreased level of IBA-1 and increased YM-1/2 protein expression. …”
