Neuro-restorative potential of short term treatment with an isoflavone against cognitive impede in streptozotocin induced diabetic mice: A pilot study
Abstract
Impairments in cognitive role in terms of fair deficits in learning and memory, psychomotor retarding and condensed mental flexibility have been observed in diabetic patients and also in animal models of diabetes. The major isoflavone phytoestrogen in Glycine max,has been shown to exhibit neuroprotective effects in several experimental models. However, its potential on diabetes associated learning and memory deficit with the probable mechanistic approach has not been investigated yet. The influence of short term………….References
