Evidence has implicated oxidative stress (OS) and inflammation as drivers of neurodegenerative pathologies. We previously reported on the beneficial effects of (−)-epicatechin (Epi) treatment, on aging-induced OS and its capacity to restore modulators of mitochondrial biogenesis in the prefrontal cortex of 26-month-old male mice. In the present study using the same mouse model of aging, we examined the capacity of Epi to mitigate hippocampus OS, inflammation, hyperphosphorylation of tau protein, soluble β-amyloid protein levels, cell survival, memory, anxiety-like behavior levels as well as systemic inflammation. Mice underwent 4 weeks of Epi treatment (1 mg/kg/day) and samples of hippocampus were obtained. Assessments of the OS markers protein carbonyls and malondialdehyde levels demonstrated significant increases (~3 fold) with aging that were partially suppressed by Epi. Protein levels of the glial fibrillary acidic protein, inflammatory factor 1 (Iba1), proinflammatory cytokines, interleukins (IL-1β, IL-3, 5, 6 and 15), ciclooxygenase 2, tumor necrosis factor α, nuclear factor activated B cells and interferon γ increase with aging and were also significantly decreased with Epi treatment. However, anti-inflammatory cytokines, IL-1ra, Il-10 and 11 were decreased in aging and were restored with Epi. Epi also reversed aging effects on the hyperphosporylation of tau, increased soluble β-amyloid levels (~2 fold), cell death, (as per caspase 3 and 9 activity), and reductions in nerve growth factor and triggering receptor myeloid cells 2 levels. Measures of anxiety like behavior and memory demonstrated improvements with Epi treatment. Indicators of systemic inflammation were elevated with aging and Epi was capable to decrease blood inflammatory markers. Altogether, results evidence a significant capacity of Epi to mitigate hippocampus OS and inflammation leading to improved brain function.
