Notably, PHA could completely block the Ab-impaired task acquisition and reduce escape-latency to the normal level. Furthermore, the effect of PHA against the Ab-impaired task acquisition could be abolished by the pre-treatment of the a7 nAChR antagonist MLA (p<0.001). It was also noted that blockade of a7 nAChR by MLA in the Gal-treated group resulted in a significant prolongation of the escape-latency on comparing with the Gal group (p<0.001) (Fig. 2).

MLA could completely block the PHA-induced spatial memory improvement (p<0.001). Furthermore, the effect of Gal against the Ab-impaired reference memory could be abolished by the pre-treatment of the a7 nAChR antagonist MLA (p<0.001). However, a7 nAChR blockage in the Gal group has a lesser effect on reference memory in comparison of blockage of that receptor in the PHA group (p<0.05) (Fig. 4). PubMed:25881725
Inter-group analysis showed that the protein level decreased by pretreatment with selective a7 nAChR antagonist MLA (p<0.001). PHA and Gal prevent receptor destroying in AD animals, but this effect is completely abolished by MLA (p<0.001) (Fig. 9). The groups showed results in the cortex similar to those observed in the hippocampus (data not shown). PubMed:25881725
Moreover in Ab-received mice, treatment with PHA and Gal improved the acquisition performance on comparing with the normal saline group (p<0.001) PubMed:25881725

The analysis also showed significant enhancing effects of PHA and Gal on the time spent in the target quadrant on comparing with the normal saline in AD mice (p<0.001). Also, in comparison with the control group, PHA-treated AD animals did not have a significant difference (p>0.05) on the time spent in the target quadrant, but in the Gal group it was significantly lower (p<0.001) (Fig. 3).

Also, no alterations in the expression of a7 nAChR mRNA were observed in pretreatment with normal saline or MLA in PHA- or Gal-treated groups (p>0.05). In the same way, the pattern of mRNA expression in the cortex (data not shown) was similar to the hippocampus (Fig. 7). PubMed:25881725
The analysis also showed significant effects of PHA and Gal on the protein levels on comparing with normal saline in AD mice (p<0.001). Moreover, Gal could not completely protect the a7 nAChR protein level in AD animals. This group has a lesser a7 nAChR protein level in comparison with the control group (p<0.001) (Fig. 8). The groups showed results in the cortex similar to those observed in the hippocampus (data not shown) PubMed:25881725
