Role of Herbal Medicines in the Management of Brain Injury.

Summary

This review evaluated studies on the role of herbal medicines in managing brain injury. Researchers searched various databases and found 32 studies with medicinal plants like Ginkgo biloba and olive that showed significant improvements in brain injury. The plants worked through different mechanisms, such as reducing free radicals and nitric oxide toxicity and increasing neuronal density. The review summarized the neuroprotective actions and molecular mechanisms of each plant. Overall, herbal medicines show promise in preventing and managing brain injury.

Mentha longifolia Alleviates Exogenous Serotonin-Induced Diabetic Hypoglycemia and Relieves Renal Toxicity via ROS Regulation.

Summary

This study evaluated the potential of Mentha longifolia (MML) to protect against kidney damage caused by serotonin-induced hypoglycemia in diabetic rats. Serotonin treatment caused hypoglycemia, impaired the body's defense system, and caused abnormal kidney histopathology. However, treatment with MML extract rescued these changes and reduced the associated toxicity. The study suggests that using MML may be a useful treatment for preventing kidney damage in diabetic patients.
