Values represent means ± standard deviations. AD and non-AD rats infused amyloid-β(25–35) into the CA1 regions and amyloid-β(35–25) into the CA1 regions, respectively. AD-Con fed 45% fat diet with 0.5% dextrin in AD rats having the intra-CA1 infusion of amyloid-β(25–35); AD-TTK, fed 45% fat diet with 0.5% water extract of Tetragonia tetragonioides (TTK) in AD rats, and Normal-Con fed 45% fat diet with 0.5% dextrin in non-AD rats having the intra-CA1 infusion of amyloid-β(35–25).
