A¦Â plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AD. Sodium butyrate (NaB) is a short-chain fatty acid salt that exerts neuroprotective effects such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiapoptotic, and cognitive improvement in central nervous system diseases. The aim of this study is to research the protective effects of NaB on neurons against A¦Â toxicity and to uncover the underlying mechanisms. The results showed that 2£¿mM NaB had a significant improvement effect on A¦Â-induced N2a cell injury, by increasing cell viability and reducing ROS to reduce injury. In addition, by acting on the GPR109A receptor, NaB regulates the expression of AD-related genes such as APP, NEP, and BDNF. Therefore, NaB protects N2a cells from A¦Â-induced cell damage through activating GPR109A, which provides an innovative idea for the treatment of AD %U https://www.hindawi.com/journals/mi/2020/7605160/
