Dendrobium nobile Lindl alkaloid and metformin ameliorate cognitive dysfunction in senescence-accelerated mice via suppression of endoplasmic reticulum stress

The senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) mice have many pathological features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with aging. We previously reported that Dendrobium nobile Lindl alkaloid (DNLA) effectively improved cognitive deficits in multiple Alzheimer’s disease (AD) models. This study further used SAMP8 mice to study the anti-aging effects of DNLA, focusing on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. DNLA and metformin were orally administered to...
