Neuroprotective effect of β-asarone against Alzheimer’s disease: regulation of synaptic plasticity by increased expression of SYP and GluR1

β-asarone antagonized the Aβ neurotoxicity in vivo, improved the learning and memory ability of APP/PS1 mice, and increased the expression of SYP and GluR1 both in vivo and in vitro. Thus, β-asarone may be a potential drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
