In vivo, QFY improved cognitive memory in AD rats and reduced the mRNA expression levels of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), the receptor for advanced glycation end products (AGER), and the inflammatory factors interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the brains of AD rats. This evidence concerns the gene TLR4 and Alzheimer disease.
