Aminooxyacetic acid ameliorates alcohol-induced learning and memory deficits through BDNF-TrkB pathway and calcium homeostasis. (PubMed, Eur J Med Res)
Through Morris water maze test, LTP test, Western blot (WB), immunohistochemistry (IHC), mitochondrial observation under electron microscope, calcium ion concentration measurement and mitochondrial membrane potential measurement, it was found that AOAA could not only regulate the level of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) caused by H2S elevation, but also maintain the role of valve of Sec61 channel on Ca2+ by restoring the level of BIP, a key indicator of ERS, significantly alleviate mitochondrial dysfunction caused by Ca2+ overload, and optimize learning and memory function. The mechanism may be closely related to the BDNF-TrkB pathway.
