Evidences a(CHEBI:rosiglitazone) to a(HBP:HBP00018)

Pedersen and Flynn examined the effects of rosiglitazone and found that activation of PPAR-g ameliorated behavioral deficits in the Tg2576 AD mouse model. However, these animals displayed no changes in plaque pathology, but had reduced brain Ab42 levels.

These animals were treated with a low dose of rosiglitazone (3 mg/kg/ day) for 12 weeks and evaluated for plaque deposition and behavior. These animals displayed an approximate 50% decrease in amyloid deposition, a decrease in Ab oligomers, preservation of pre and postsynaptic proteins and the attenuation of cognitive deficits in the Morris water maze.
