Effects of <i>Anredera cordifolia</i> extract intake on learning and memory in senescence-accelerated mouse-prone 8 (SAMP8) mice

Anredera cordifolia (AC) is a perennial plant of the Basellaceae family, and is attracting attention as a health food because it is easy to cultivate and has high nutritional value. So far, it has been reported that AC has an improving effect on lipid abnormalities and hypertension in mice and rats. However, it is not known how long-term administration of AC extract affects the central nervous function. In this study, we investigated the effects of an oral intake of AC extract on learning and memory using the senescence accelerated mouse-prone 8 (SAMP8) mouse.
