Cognitive deficits are commonly reported by patients following treatment with chemotherapeutic agents. Anthracycline-containing chemotherapy regimens associated cognitive impairment and reductions in neuronal connectivity cancer survivors, doxorubicin (Dox) is a used anthracycline. Although it has been that Dox distribution to the central nervous system (CNS) limited, considerable concentrations observed brain co-administration of certain medications. Additionally, pro-inflammatory...

Doxorubicin (DOX) is widely used to treat many types of cancer; however, it associated with chemotherapy-related complications such as cognitive dysfunction, known chemobrain. Chemobrain affects up 75% cancer survivors, and there are currently no available therapeutic options. This study aims examine whether metformin (MET) can protect against the neurotoxicity caused by DOX treatment. Forty male rats were divided into four groups (10 rats/group): control, DOX, + MET, MET. Rats treated...
