Phlorotannin-rich fraction from Ishige foliacea brown seaweed prevents the scopolamine-induced memory impairment via regulation of ERK-CREB-BDNF pathway

Ishige foliacea, a species of edible brown algae, contains specific polyphenols called phlorotannins, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. We hypothesized that the phlorotannin-rich fraction of I. foliacea (PRFI) is neuroprotective. We investigated the effects of PRF...
