The study investigated the protective effects of barberry root extract and berberine against neuronal damage caused by oxidative stress. They tested this using a human cell line and found that both substances were able to protect against damage induced by hydrogen peroxide. These findings suggest that barberry root extract and berberine could potentially be used to treat neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease.
