Topic: Brain proteins, microglia and lab models

In our previous studies, we have shown that (D-Ser2) oxyntomodulin (Oxm), a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor (GLP1R)/glucagon receptor (GCGR) dual agonist peptide, protects hippocampal neurons against Aβ 1-42 -induced cytotoxicity, and stabilizes the calcium homeostasis and mitochondrial membrane potential of hippocampal neurons. Additionally, we have demonstrated that (D-Ser2) Oxm improves cognitive decline and reduces the deposition of amyloid-beta in Alzheimer's disease model mice. However, the protective mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we showed that 2 weeks of intraperitoneal administration of (D-Ser2) Oxm ameliorated the working memory and fear memory impairments of 9-month-old 3×Tg Alzheimer's disease model mice. In addition, electrophysiological data recorded by a wireless multichannel neural recording system implanted in the hippocampal CA1 region showed that (D-Ser2) Oxm increased the power of the theta rhythm. In addition, (D-Ser2) Oxm treatment greatly increased the expression level of synaptic-associated proteins SYP and PSD-95 and increased the number of dendritic spines in 3×Tg Alzheimer's disease model mice. These findings suggest that (D-Ser2) Oxm improves the cognitive function of Alzheimer's disease transgenic mice by recovering hippocampal synaptic function and theta rhythm.

Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported and randomized / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multicenter collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 25 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 43 out of 100.
