Demonstrates improved cognitive function in rats fed a high-fat diet, suggesting neuroprotective benefits of Raphanus sativus seeds.
A high-fat diet (HFD) can influence the morphology structure, and function of the brain, resulting in cognitive decline and neural tissue damage. The dried mature seeds of Raphanus sativus L. (Semen Raphani), have been proven to improve metabolic disorders and have neuroprotective benefits The model of metabolic cognitive impairment was established in rats. Subsequently, interventions were conducted using different doses of Semen Raphani. The results showed that Semen Raphani could significantly reduce the weight gain of rats (p < 0.05) and reverse the learning and memory abilities of rats (p < 0.05). Semen Raphani (RS) exert a beneficial effect on HFD-mediated metabolic damage to the brain. Oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial function represent potential mechanisms through which Semen Raphani ameliorates high-fat diet-induced cognitive impairment. Not applicable.
