Dapagliflozin Ameliorates Doxorubicin-Induced Chemobrain and Cognitive Abnormalities in Rats: Modulation of AKT/GSK-3β and Wnt/β-Catenin Pathways.

ABSTRACT: Cognitive impairments are frequently observed in cancer survivors who received chemotherapy based on doxorubicin (DOX), attributable to oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and the apoptotic effect of DOX. Dapagliflozin (DAPA) has gained significant attention attributable to its powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic characteristics. The present investigation seeks to assess the possible neuroprotective properties of DAPA in alleviating neurodegeneration and cognitive dysfunction caused by DOX. Chemobrain was induced by DOX (2 mg/kg, i.p.) once weekly for four weeks. Additionally, rats were treated with DAPA (2 mg/kg, p.o.) for 28 consecutive days. DAPA markedly mitigated behavioral deficits associated with cognitive impairment induced by DOX, as demonstrated by cognit
