This was demonstrated by reductions in malondialdehyde level, and increased activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase, and elevated glutathione content. Likewise, low dose bithiophene enhanced synaptic plasticity through a reduction in excitatory glutamate and norepinephrine levels, while increasing dopamine. Moreover, bithiophene significantly downregulated the expression of GSAP, GSK3- \u03b2, and p53, which are implicated in AD progression. This treatment also decreased caspase 3 and amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2\n                      <jats:sub>1\u201342<\/jats:sub>\n                      ) accumulation in the hippocampus.
