Zingiber officinale and Vernonia amygdalina Infusions Improve Redox Status in Rat Brain.

This study explored how tea infusions affect the brain health of rats. Twenty-four rats were divided into four groups, with one serving as a control. The test groups received either root, leaf, or a combination of both infusions orally for one week. Results showed that the infusions decreased levels of harmful compounds in the rats' brain tissue and increased levels of beneficial ones. The study demonstrates the positive antioxidant properties of the infusions, which could have health benefits for humans.

Neuroprotective Treatments for Digestive Forms of Chagas Disease in Experimental Models: A Systematic Review.

A systematic review was conducted to identify potential neuroprotective drugs for the digestive form of Chagas disease, which is currently treated ineffectively. Eight experimental studies on murine models were included, with most showing neuroprotective activity of the tested drugs (acetylsalicylic acid, cyclophosphamide, and Lycopodium clavatum 13c). However, further study on the mechanisms, safety, and immunogenicity of these drugs is needed. This study provides valuable insight for the development of improved treatments for Chagas disease.
