Key Findings
- The study from Hamadan University of Medical Sciences explored the effects of DHEA and H. erinaceus mushroom extract on AD-like symptoms in male Wistar rats
- Scopolamine significantly impaired memory and increased oxidative stress in the rats, mimicking AD symptoms
- Treatment with DHEA and H. erinaceus improved memory, reduced oxidative stress, and increased BDNF levels, showing a synergistic neuroprotective effect
