Figure 1.

(a, b) Western blotting was performed to examine the effect of CP extract and rivastigmine tartrate on the increased protein and mRNA levels of AβPP induced by administration of scopolamine (2 mg/kg). The western blot and mRNA levels are representative of three independent experiments. The protein expression of AβPP was normalized against β-actin, while the transcriptive levels of AβPP were normalized against GAPDH. The data was expressed as mean ± S.E.M. ^**P < 0.01 as compared with control group, ⁺P < 0.05 as compared with scopolamine treated group
