Treatment of Modified Dahuang Fuzi Decoction on Cognitive Impairment Induced by Chronic Kidney Disease through Regulating AhR/NF-κB/JNK Signal Pathway.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

An increasing widespread of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been established lately around the globe. In addition to renal function loss, CKD can also cause cognitive impairment (CI). Modified Dahuang Fuzi Decoction (MDFD) is used as a traditional Chinese therapy for CKD. The effect of MDFD on cognitive impairment induced by chronic kidney disease (CKD-CI), and therapeutic mechanisms were investigated.

Methods

The CKD animals' model was developed in the 5/6 nephrectomized mice. Sham operation and model groups received normal saline, while positive control and MDFD high/medium/low dose received Aricept (10 mg/kg/day) and different doses of MDFD (24, 16, and 8 g/kg/day), respectively. Cognitive function was detected with the Morris water maze test, while related factors w
