H3 relaxin mediated neuroprotection in Alzheimer’s disease pathology induced by streptozotocin in mouse models: Impact on memory improvement, autophagy and PI3K/Akt-mTOR signalling pathway

Acta Pharmaceutica
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterised by β-amyloid (Aβ) plaque accumulation and tau hyperphosphorylation. H3 relaxin, a neuro-peptide, is known to exert neuroprotective effects. In this study, we investigated how H3 relaxin confers neuroprotection in

Relaxin-1 mRNA and relaxin-3 peptide expression in goldfish (Carassius auratus)

, 2005
Relaxin-1 and relaxin-3 are polypeptide hormones of the relaxin-like peptide family and are expressed in most vertebrate species. Relaxin-1 is poorly conserved across species and exhibits pleiotropic effects. Relaxin-3, which has low sequence homology to
