Restoration of Memory Potential by Piper betel Leaves Extract in High-Fat Diet (HFD)-Induced Dementia in Mice
Abstract
The present study has been designed to evaluate the effect of ethanolic extract of leaves of Piper betel in high fat diet (HFD) induced dementia and memory restoration effect in Albino mice by various parameters like Morris water maze (MWM) test, Elevated Plus Maze etc. and Estimation of serum total cholesterol using commercially available kit. Dementia is a syndrome in which the deterioration of cognitive functions occurs.
The results of this study indicate that the administration of a high-fat diet to the Swiss mice produces a severe deterioration of spatial memory as determined by the Morris water maze (MWM) test, Elevated Plus Maze, T Maze delayed alteration task performed. Administration of ethanolic extract of Piper betel (250 and 500 mg/kg, p.o.) for 14 days significantly attenuated high-fat diet-induced memory deficits. Moringa Oleifera treatment to HFD induced mice improves cognition by virtue of its results support that the protective effect obtained with Piper betel may be through the activation of pregnane x receptors.
ethanolic extract of Piper betel treatment to HFD induced mice improves cognition by virtue of its results, supports that the protective effect obtained with Piper betel may be through the activation of pregnane x receptors.
