体内研究
7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (5 mg/kg/day) prevents synaptic loss and memory deficits in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s Disease.
Administration of 7,8- dihydroxyflavone to mice activates TrkB in the brain, inhibits kainic acid-induced toxicity, decreases infarct volumes in stroke in a TrkBdependent manner, and is neuroprotective in an animal model of Parkinson disease.
