Researchers studied the protective effects of Potentilla anserina L polysaccharide (PAP) on high altitude cerebral edema (HACE), a condition caused by a lack of oxygen at high altitude that can lead to brain swelling. They measured brain water content, evaluated inflammatory markers and antioxidant activity, and found that PAP reduced brain swelling and tissue damage, lowered levels of harmful molecules, and blocked the activation of pro-inflammatory pathways. This potential new treatment for HACE works by suppressing oxidative stress and inflammation.
