Additionally, LDRT has been shown to alleviate various neurological disorders. We hypothesize that the therapeutic mechanisms of LDRT in AD may extend beyond targeting Aβ and tau alone.

This study aimed to explore the protective role of punicalin (PUN), an ellagitannin with various biological activities, against cognitive impairment in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice and to examine the underlying mechanisms. PUN was orally administered at 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg for 8 weeks, resulting in a significant reduction in body weight, restoration of glucose tolerance, and normalization of lipid profiles in the serum and liver of HFD-fed mice. PUN notably enhanced spatial memory and improved depression-like symptoms across various behavioral assessments, which were associated with improved synaptic function by boosting synaptic protein levels and excitatory postsynaptic currents, while decreasing oxidative damage, balancing amyloidogenesis, and the cholinergic system in HFD-fed mice. PUN reduced the activation of the TLR4/NF-kB/NLRP3 inflammasome, which decreased microglia overactivation, engulfment of PSD95 in microglia and mediated neuroinflammation in mouse models of HFD-induced obesity. In addition, PUN improved the activity of tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes, including PDH, CS, and OGDH; lowered 8-OHdG levels; elevated ATP and NAD+ levels; and disrupted mitochondrial structure. PUN modulates molecular pathways by reducing phosphorylated p53 levels and upregulating PGC-1α, thereby improving mitochondrial function. Therefore, PUN could help counteract cognitive impairment in HFD-fed mice by inhibiting neuroinflammation via the TLR4/NFkB/NLRP3 inflammasome and reinstating mitochondrial capabilities through the p53/PGC-1α pathway. PUN could serve as a new nutritional strategy for preventing obesity-related cognitive dysfunction via its metabolic regulation and anti-inflammatory effects.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12246,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Neurology","volume":"395 ","pages":"Article 115479"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145137046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The catecholamine transmitters, dopamine and norepinephrine, modulate neural activity within the PFC and catecholamine dysregulation associated with TBI may underly aberrant decision making. The psychostimulant, methylphenidate (MPH), elevates catecholamine levels by blocking their reuptake transporters and is often used off-label to treat post-injury cognitive symptoms. However, to establish a treatment regimen, it is necessary to characterize how chronic therapeutic doses of MPH affect rmTBI-induced disruptions of decision making. Here, male and female rodents were trained on the probabilistic discounting task (PDT) prior to receiving rmTBI induced by the closed head-controlled cortical impact model. Rats then received daily administration of saline or low-dose MPH (0.5 or 2 mg/kg, i.p.) upon return to the PDT to assess their risk/reward decision-making behavior for 4 weeks post-surgery. The combination of rmTBI and MPH treatment significantly increased risky choice preference in males for 2 weeks. In contrast, MPH (2 mg/kg) disrupted choice preference only in uninjured females within the first week post-surgery. Upon completion of chronic MPH treatment and PDT testing, no changes in catecholamine transporter protein levels within subregions of the PFC were observed. These results indicate MPH treatment transiently exacerbates risky behavior in males, but not females, following rmTBI. These sex-specific responses advise caution for males exposed to making decisions that involve uncertain risk/reward outcomes when considering MPH to treat post-rmTBI cognitive symptoms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12246,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Neurology","volume":"395 ","pages":"Article 115478"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145137092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
