Berberine attenuates cognitive dysfunction and hippocampal apoptosis in rats with prediabetes

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Prediabetes rat model was induced by high-fat diet and a normal diet was used as a control. They were fed for 20 weeks. At week 13, the model rats were given 100 mg/kg Berberine by gavage for 7 weeks. OGTT, fasting blood glucose, blood lipid, insulin level, and insulin resistance index were measured in each group. The cognitive function of rats was observed by a water maze test and new object recognition experiment.
