Abstract
The transformation of our era, resulting in a change in dietary habits towards a higher intake of fatty foods, presents a worldwide health issue. Among these challenges is neurodegeneration, which leads to cognitive impairment. It is imperative to seek alternative solutions rooted in nature to address the limitations associated with non-natural treatment methods. This entails harnessing the properties of secondary metabolite compounds found in plants, such as Colocasia esculenta Var. Mentawai. This research aims to assess the efficacy of C. esculenta Var. Mentawai corm as neuroprotective agents in mitigating CNS damage and preventing cognitive decline associated with neurodegeneration. Daily administration of a high-fat diet and a mixture of taro flour is conducted on young adult male mice for a duration of 60 days. Furthermore, analysis of the neurocognitive ability of mice, determination of malondialdehyde levels, and observation of histopathological structures on brain tissue were carried out. The results showed that the group of mice fed with taro flour mixture effectively showed a positive impact on maintaining neurocognitive abilities and histopathological structure of brain tissue against neurodegeneration (p
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cellular Neuroscience and Oxidative Stress isan online journal that publishes original research articles, reviews and short reviews on themolecular basisofbiophysical,physiological and pharmacological processes thatregulate cellular function, and the control or alteration of these processesby theaction of receptors, neurotransmitters, second messengers, cation, anions,drugsor disease. Areas of particular interest are four topics. They are; 1. Ion Channels (Na+-K+Channels, Cl– channels, Ca2+channels, ADP-Ribose and metabolism of NAD+,Patch-Clamp applications) 2. Oxidative Stress (Antioxidant vitamins, antioxidant enzymes, metabolism of nitric oxide, oxidative stress, biophysics, biochemistry and physiology of free oxygen radicals) 3. Interaction Between Oxidative Stress and Ion Channels in Neuroscience (Effects of the oxidative stress on the activation of the voltage sensitive cation channels, effect of ADP-Ribose and NAD+ on activation of the cation channels which are sensitive to voltage, effect of the oxidative stress on activation of the TRP channels in neurodegenerative diseases such Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases) 4. Gene and Oxidative Stress (Gene abnormalities. Interaction between gene and free radicals. Gene anomalies and iron. Role of radiation and cancer on gene polymorphism)
