THE EFFECTS OF ETHANOL EXTRACTS OF Centella asiatica LEAF ON SERIAL SERUM BRAIN DERIVED NEUROTROPHIN FACTOR (BDNF) CONCENTRATION OF RATS (SPRAGUE DAWLEY) FOLLOWING CHRONIC STRESS

Abstract: Centella asiatica is considered herbal plant for increasing memory performance. Brain-derived neurotrophin factor (BDNF) has a significant role in memory formation process, while stress causes memory impairment. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of ethanol extracts of Centella asiatica leaf on serum BDNF concentration of rats that was taken serially before and after chronic electrical stress. Materials and Methods : Twenty male rats (Sprague Dawley) were divided into four groups: control/a… Show more

“…The plasma concentration of TNF- α as well as other inflammatory cytokines increases under stressful condition such as restraint stress [ 35 ]. Therefore, it would be feasible to use serial plasma TNF- α for evaluating stress response in rodents to chronic stress paradigms, such as what has been shown for serum BDNF [ 36 ].…”

“…There are two main components in pegagan, namely triterpenoids and flavonoids. Both components function as antioxidants and are neuroprotective (Sari and Rochmah, 2015, Orhan, 2012, Vauzour et al, 2008. Pegagan has long been used in Ayurveda medicine and traditional Chinese medicine to improve memory function (Lokanathan et al, 2016).…”

“…in rats following chronic stress affects the concentration of serum and hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is an endogenous neuroprotective agent in the brain. [4][5][6] The brain is the central organ for stress adaptation and is also a target of stress. 6 Chronic stress may result in abnormal changes in brain plasticity, including dendritic retraction, neuronal toxicity and suppression of neurogenesis, as well as axospinous synaptic plasticity.…”
