Abstract
Due to the lack of clinical data, we aimed to assess the anti-cellular senescence and cognition-enhancing effects and the mechanisms of novel tuna-byproduct-derived supplements. An 8-week, three-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel study was performed. A total of 60 female perimenopausal and postmenopausal women (45-60 years old) were randomly assigned to placebo, low (2600 mg/day), and high (6000 mg/day) doses of the supplement. The N100 and P300 brain waves, working memory, serum levels of MDA, SOD, CAT, GPx TNF-α, IL-6, eNOS, AChE, MAO, GABA-T, and SIRT1, and density of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium spp. in feces were assessed before consumption and every 4 weeks throughout the study period. The telomere length and total phenolic compound and DHA levels were assessed before and at the end of the study. The low dose increased the N100 amplitude, working memory, telomere length, and SIRT1, whereas high doses improved the amplitudes of N00 and P300, P300 latency, and working memory; suppressed AChE, MAO, and GABA-T; and improved MDA, SOD, GPx, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels in the serum, further exhibiting an increase in DHA. Therefore, the novel supplement could be a potential remedy for managing cellular senescence and cognitive decline in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women; however, studies with larger sample sizes are required.

Abstract
Menopause results in estrogen hormone deficiency which causes changes in brain morphology and cognitive impairments. The risk of breast and ovarian cancer increases with estrogen therapy. Thus, finding a substitute treatment option for women in menopause is necessary. In the current study, the impact of chronic sericin treatment (200 mg/kg/day for 6 weeks, gavage) on memory process, oxidative stress markers, synaptic neurotransmission, and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in the hippocampus (HIP) of ovariectomized (OVX) mice was examined and compared to the effects of 17β-estradiol (Es; 20 µg/kg, s.c.). The results demonstrated that sericin and Es administration improved spatial and recognition memory of the OVX animals in the both Lashley III maze and novel object recognition tests. Moreover, sericin-treated OVX mice showed decreased ROS levels, increased endogenous antioxidant defense capacity, and decreased AChE activity in the HIP. Additionally, sericin and Es therapy up-regulated pre-and-post-synaptic protein markers and increased BDNF, CREB, and protein kinase A (PKA) protein expressions in the HIP of OVX mice. Overall, the activation of the PKA-CREB-BDNF signaling pathway by sericin can provide protection against OVX-induced cognitive dysfunction, making it a potential alternative for managing cognitive deficits in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the 17-β estradiol in the acetylcholinesterase activity and lipid peroxidation in the brain and blood of ovariectomized rats of different ages. MAIN METHODS Animals were randomly assigned into three experimental groups of each age (n=6). Control groups consisted of adult (sham-A) and middle-aged (sham-MA) female rats, ovariectomized adult (OVX-A) and middle-aged (OVX-MA) rats without estrogen therapy reposition, and ovariectomized adult (OVX+E2-A) and middle-aged (OVX+E2-MA) rats treated with 17-β estradiol for 30days. After this period, AChE activity and lipid peroxidation were measured in the brain and blood. KEY FINDINGS The AChE activity increased (p<0.05) in striatum (ST) in OVX-A, OVX+E2-A and OVX-MA, and hippocampus (HP) in OVX-MA. The enzyme activity decreased (p<0.05) in ST of OVX+E2-MA, and cerebral cortex (CC) in OVX+E2-A, OVX-MA and OVX+E2-MA. Blood AChE activity increased (p<0.05) in OVX+E2-A and decreased (p<0.05) in OVX-MA. Lymphocyte AChE activity increased (p<0.05) in OVX-A and OVX+E2-A and decreased (p<0.05) in OVX-MA. Lipid peroxidation increased (p<0.05) in ST of OVX-A, CC of OVX-A and OVX-MA, HP of OVX-A, and cerebellum (CE) of OVX-A, OVX-MA, and OVX+E2-MA. Lipid peroxidation decreased (p<0.05) in ST, CC and CE of OVX+E2-A, and ST and HP of OVX+E2-MA. Similar values of lipid peroxidation to control groups were found in ST and HP of OVX-MA, HP of OVX+E2-A and CC of OVX+E2-MA. SIGNIFICANCE 17-β estradiol is able to modulate the AChE activity and non-neuronal cholinergic response as well as to reduce lipid peroxidation. Its response is dependent on the age and brain structure analyzed.

Abstract
Clinical research suggests that type of ovarian hormone loss at menopause influences cognition. Until recently ovariectomy (OVX) has been the primary rodent model to examine effects of ovarian hormone loss on cognition. This model limits evaluations to abrupt and complete ovarian hormone loss, modeling less than 13% of women who receive surgical menopause. The majority of women do not have their ovaries surgically removed and undergo transitional hormone loss via ovarian follicular depletion. 4-Vinylcyclohexene-diepoxide (VCD) produces gradual ovarian follicular depletion in the rodent, with hormone profiles more similar to naturally menopausal women vs. OVX. We directly compared VCD and OVX models to examine whether type of hormone loss (transitional vs. surgical) impacted cognition as assessed on a maze battery as well as the cholinergic system tested via scopolamine mnemonic challenge and brain acetylcholinesterase activity. Middle-aged rats received either sham surgery, OVX surgery, VCD, or VCD then OVX to assess effects of removal of residual ovarian output after transitional menopause and follicular depletion. VCD-induced transitional menopause impaired learning of a spatial recent memory task; surgical removal of residual ovarian hormones by OVX abolished this negative effect of transitional menopause. Furthermore, transitional menopause before OVX was better for memory than an abrupt loss of hormones via OVX only. Surgical ovarian hormone loss, regardless of menopause history, increased hippocampal acetylcholinesterase activity. Circulating gonadotropin and androstenedione levels were related to cognitive competence. Collectively, findings suggest that in the rat, initiation of transitional menopause before surgical ovary removal can benefit mnemonic function and could obviate some negative cognitive consequences of surgical menopause alone.

Metab Brain Dis 2007; 22:156-71.

Abstract
Since a previous study demonstrated that ovariectomized rats present an activation of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities, in the present study we investigated the influence of vitamins E plus C or soy isoflavones on the effects elicited by ovariectomy on the activities of these enzyme in hippocampus of ovariectomized rats. We also determined the effect of the same compounds on the reduction of serum butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) activity caused by ovariectomy. Female adult Wistar rats were assigned to one of the following groups: sham (submitted to surgery without removal of the ovaries) and ovariectomized. Seven days after surgery, animals were treated for 30 days with a single daily intraperitoneous injection of vitamins E (40 mg/kg) plus C (100 mg/kg) or saline (control). In another set of experiments, the rats were fed for 30 days on a special diet with soy protein or a standard diet with casein (control). Rats were sacrificed after treatments and the hippocampus was dissected and serum was separated. Data demonstrate that vitamins E plus C reversed the activation of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase and AChE in hippocampus of ovariectomized rats. Conversely, soy protein supplementation reversed the increase of AChE activity, but not of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity, caused by ovariectomized group. Neither treatment was able to reverse the reduction of serum BuChE activity. Furthermore, treatments with vitamins E plus C or soy were unable to reverse the decrease in estradiol levels caused by ovariectomy. Our findings show that the treatment with vitamins E plus C significantly reversed the effect of ovariectomy on hippocampal Na(+), K(+)-ATPase and AChE activities. However, a soy diet that was rich in isoflavones was able to reverse just the increase of AChE. Neither treatment altered the reduction in serum BuChE activity. Taken together, these vitamins and soy may have a protective role against the possible brain dysfunction observed in some menopause women. Vitamins E plus C and soy isoflavones may be a good alternative as a novel therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
In the present work we investigated the effect of ovariectomy on Na+, K+-ATPase and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities in rat hippocampus. We also studied some parameters of oxidative stress, namely total radical-trapping antioxidant potential (TRAP), thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBA-RS), as well as the antioxidant enzyme activities superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities. Our hypothesis is that ovariectomy might cause alterations in essential enzyme activities necessary to brain normal functioning and that these chances could be caused by oxidative stress. Female adult Wistar rats were divided into three groups: (1) naive (control); (2) sham-operated; and (3) ovariectomized. Thirty days after ovariectomy rats were sacrificed. Results showed that rats subjected to ovariectomy presented a significant increase in Na+, K+-ATPase, AChE and CAT activities, but did not change the oxidative stress parameters studied when compared to sham or naive rats. Since ovariectomy mimics postmenopausal changes, our findings showing alteration in the activities of brain Na+, K+-ATPase, AChE and CAT may be related to problems in postmenopausal women.
