The neuroprotective role of celastrol on hippocampus in diabetic rats by inflammation restraint, insulin signaling adjustment, Aβ reduction and synaptic plasticity alternation.

Celastrol from Tripterygium wilfordii protects diabetic rats against cognitive decline by improving insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, and reducing inflammation in the brain. Celastrol also promotes the synthesis of synaptic proteins, enhancing cognitive function.
