probucol and Nerve Degeneration

probucol has been researched along with Nerve Degeneration in 1 studies

Probucol: A drug used to lower LDL and HDL cholesterol yet has little effect on serum-triglyceride or VLDL cholesterol. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p993).
probucol : A dithioketal that is propane-2,2-dithiol in which the hydrogens attached to both sulfur atoms are replaced by 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl groups. An anticholesteremic drug with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it is used to treat high levels of cholesterol in blood.

Nerve Degeneration: Loss of functional activity and trophic degeneration of nerve axons and their terminal arborizations following the destruction of their cells of origin or interruption of their continuity with these cells. The pathology is characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. Often the process of nerve degeneration is studied in research on neuroanatomical localization and correlation of the neurophysiology of neural pathways.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Therefore, we have tested whether the previously proven blood-brain barrier protective agent, probucol, can prevent blood-brain barrier breakdown and cognitive decline in a dietary-induced murine model of diabetic insulin resistance."3.91Probucol prevents blood-brain barrier dysfunction and cognitive decline in mice maintained on pro-diabetic diet.
