Raphanus sativus L. (Semen Raphani) seeds ameliorates cognitive dysfunction induced by high-fat diet in rats by affecting mitochondrial function and brain morphological integrity
摘要
A high-fat diet (HFD) can influence the morphology structure, and function of the brain, resulting in cognitive decline and neural tissue damage. The dried mature seeds of Raphanus sativus L. (Semen Raphani), have been proven to improve metabolic disorders and have neuroprotective benefits
MethodsThe model of metabolic cognitive impairment was established in rats. Subsequently, interventions were conducted using different doses of Semen Raphani.
ResultsThe results showed that Semen Raphani could significantly reduce the weight gain of rats (p < 0.05) and reverse the learning and memory abilities of rats (p < 0.05).
ConclusionSemen Raphani (RS) exert a beneficial effect on HFD-mediated metabolic damage to the brain. Oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial function represent potential mechanisms through which Semen Raphani ameliorates high-fat diet-induced cognitive impairment.
Clinical trial numberNot applicable.
