Aqueous extract of Ceratonia siliqua L. leaves elicits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and AChE inhibiting effects in amyloid-β42-induced cognitive deficit mice: Role of α7-nAChR in modulating Jak2/PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β/β-catenin cascade.

Researchers investigated the effects of Ceratonia siliqua extract on Alzheimer's disease (AD) in mice. AD is caused by several factors including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and amyloid buildup. Mice injected with amyloid-β42, a protein involved in AD, were treated with the extract. The extract improved brain function and reduced AD symptoms, including inflammation and oxidative stress. Researchers found that the extract works by modulating specific pathways, which are involved in AD, in an α7-nAChR-dependent manner. The study suggests that Ceratonia siliqua could be a promising treatment for AD.
