1 Berberine, which is the main active component of the traditional medicinal herb Coptidis rhizoma, has a positive effect on reducing Abeta levels. Berberine amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein Mus musculus
2 The results indicate that berberine reduces Abeta generation and decreases the expression of beta-site APP cleaving enzyme-1 (BACE1) via activating AMPK in N2a mouse neuroblastoma cells stably expressing human Swedish mutant APP695 (N2a/APP695sw), N2a cells, and primary cultured cortical neurons. Berberine amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein Mus musculus
3 Therefore, berberine reduced the accumulation of Abeta, which likely contributes to its memory enhancing effect in patients with AD. Berberine amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein Mus musculus
