Abstract excerpt
Tauopathies are characterized by progressive neurodegeneration caused by intracellular accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau protein aggregates in the brain. The present study was designed to test whether a grape seed polyphenolic extract (GSPE) previously shown to inhibit tau protein aggregation in vitro could benefit tau-mediated neuropathology and behavior deficits in JNPL3 transgenic mice expressing a human...
