Effects of Eurycoma longifolia Jack on chronic hypoperfusion-induced oxidative damage and memory deficit in rats

Decreased cerebral blood supply, which is associated with dementia, results in chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH), a physiopathological mechanism of neural dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease. Eurycoma longifolia (EL) Jack has been documented to have multiple biological activities. The current st...
