Abstract

Neurodegenerative disorder clinically characterized by progressive cognitive and memory dysfunction. This study investigated the effect of Jasonia montana ethanolic extract (JMEE) on Ca‑, Mg+2 and Na+, K+-ATPase and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities as well as β amyloid1-42 level in brain hippocampus of adult rats exposed to SCO. Rats were exposed to SCO (3.0 mg/Kg) and JMEE (150 mg/Kg) by gavage for 14 days. Rats were randomly divided into six groups with 6 rats in each: [Saline], [saline/SCO (3.0 mg/kg)], [saline/SCO (3.0 mg/kg)/JMEE (150 mg/kg,)], [saline/SCO (3.0 mg/kg)/ DHC (3 mg/kg)] and [saline/SCO (3.0 mg/kg)/JMEE (150 mg/kg,)/ DHC (3 mg/kg)]. Results demonstrated that plasma TC, TG as well as brain hippocampus levels of AChE, MAO, βA1-42, TBARS. Also, the results showed that a significant depletion of plasma HDL-C as well as brain hippocampus levels of phospholipids, GSH, ACh, Ca+2, Mg+2 and Na+, K+-ATPase. Treatment with JMEE (150 mg/Kg) prevented the increase in TC, TG, AChE, MAO, β amyloid1-42, TBARS activity when compared to SCO-treated group. JMEE treatment prevented the SCO-induced decrease in Ca+2, Mg+2 and Na+, K+-ATPase activities as well as GSH, HDL-C, ACh and phospholipids in SCO-treated group when compared to normal group. Our data showed that JMEE have a protector effect against SCO induced neurodegenerative. Also, Jasonia Montana is a promising therapeutic agent to attenuate neurological disorders associated with SCO induced dementia.
