| Abstract | Oxidative stress is involved in the etiology of multiple chronic diseases including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases (AD). Moreover, it is believed to be a primary cause in diseases pathogenesis. For instance, in AD lipid peroxidation by-products such as acrolein accumulated specifically in vulnerable regions of the brain from mild cognitive impairment and preclinical AD patients. Acrolein is a highly reactive aldehyde seen also as an initiator of oxidative stress. Although severalstudies have demonstrated that polyphenol-rich extracts could exert beneficial effect on cognitive impairment and oxidative stress, only a few of them could reach the brain. Among them, anthocyanins have been detected in hippocampus but in a very small amount. Thus, we hypothesised that polyphenols could have synergic effect at low concentrations leading to the neuroprotective effect. Our screening experiments lead to a formulation containing a mix of different anthocyanins (MAF) with antioxidant and neuroprotective effect at very low doses. Our results demonstrated that MAF showed a protective effect against acrolein- and b-amyloid-induced SK-N-SH cell toxicity. Our data demonstrated that MAF was able to lower protein carbonyl levels induced by acrolein or ß-amyloid. Moreover, MAF prevented glutathione depletion induced by acrolein. Our results also showed that MAF prevented the expression of ?-glutamylcystein synthetase, the nuclear translocation of Nrf2, the activation of both NF-?B and p66HSC by acrolein. In conclusion, we demonstrated that the innovative anthocyanin formulationMAF was not only a powerful antioxidant, but could also regulate cellular pathways involved in antioxidant defenses and cell survival. These effects of MAF were observed with low concentrations suggesting a synergistic effect of these polyphenolic compounds. These results indicate that MAF could be a promising agent for AD prevention. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
