Metallothionein synthesis increased by Ninjin-yoei-to, a Kampo medicine protects neuronal death and memory loss after exposure to amyloid β1-42

Abstract Background It is possible that increased synthesis of metallothioneins (MTs), Zn2+-binding proteins is linked with the protective effect of Ninjin-yoei-to (NYT) on Zn2+ toxicity ferried by amyloid β1-42 (Aβ1-42). Methods Judging from the biological half-life (18-20 h) of MTs, the effective...
