Daily oral application of extracts of Hypericum perforatum and Sideritis spp. attenuated A$\beta$-induced histopathology and alleviated memory impairments in APP/PS1 mice. In detail, both extracts (i) decreased intracerebral A$\beta$42 and (ii) A$\beta$ plaques, (iii) rescued neocortical neurons, and (iv) restored cognition to healthy control levels due to an enhanced A$\beta$42 export activity of ABCC1 and an increased phagocytic microglia activity.", school="Universit{\"a}t Rostock", note="vorgelegt von: Jacqueline Hofrichter", note="Dissertation Universit{\"a}t Rostock 2014", url="http://rosdok.uni-rostock.de/resolve/urn/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2016-0083-8", language="English" }
