- Abstract
- The present study aimed to investigate the effect of 6-shogaol (6S) treatment on brain senescence. Mice were naturally aged until 25-month-old and treated with 10 mg/kg of 6S for a month. Behavioral tests were performed to measure locomotion and cognitive function. Neuronal damage, synaptic plasticity, neuroinflammation, neurogenesis and p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) expression were examined by immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence. 6S treatment improved locomotion during open field test in the aged mice and spontaneous alternation in Y-maze. These data are in line with that 6S administration improved dopaminergic neuronal loss and dopamine signaling and attenuated hippocampal synaptic plasticity in the aged brain. Additionally, 6S treatment reduced striatal and hippocampal microgliosis and astrocytosis but promoted neurogenesis in subventricular zone. Furthermore, 6S treatment reversed the p75NTR expression in the senescent brain. The current findings suggest that 6S can be a functional food for successful aging through brain rejuvenation at the molecular level.
