Polysaccharides from sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) berries ameliorates cognitive dysfunction in AD mice induced by a combination of D-gal and AlCl(3) by suppressing oxidative stress and inflammation reaction.

Hippophae rhamnoides L. has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat heart ailments, rheumatism, and brain disorders. Recent studies suggest that its polysaccharide (HRP) may improve cognitive impairment in mice with Alzheimer's disease, but the protective mechanism remains unclear.

Engeletin alleviates cerebral ischemia reperfusion-induced neuroinflammation via the HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB network.

Engeletin, derived from Smilax glabra rhizomilax, has neuroprotective effects in rats with cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury, reducing deficits, infarct size, inflammation, and apoptosis. It suppresses the HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB inflammatory network.

Swimming training and herbal nanoformulations as natural remedies to improve sensory-motor impairment in rat midbrain tumor models: system biology, behavioral test, and experimental validation.

This study used rat models to investigate the effects of swimming training and herbal extracts on motor impairment caused by midbrain tumors. Results suggest that swimming training and certain herbal extracts could be effective complementary treatments for improving motor impairment in this context.
