Effect of Aruncus dioicus var. kamtschaticus Extract on Neurodegeneration Improvement: Ameliorating Role in Cognitive Disorder Caused by High-Fat Diet Induced Obesity.

The study assessed the potential of an ethyl acetate fraction from var. (EFAD) on metabolic syndrome induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). Results showed that EFAD reduces lipid accumulation, improves insulin resistance, and has ameliorating effects on obesity-induced cognitive disorder, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. In tests, EFAD significantly suppressed the increase of body weight and improved glucose tolerance in obese mice. The study confirmed that EFAD positively impacts the peripheral-IR and CNS-IR, which are factors in neurodegeneration such as Alzheimer's disease. The results suggest EFAD may be used for the prevention of neurodegeneration by improving metabolic syndrome caused by HFD.

Medicinal plants in traumatic brain injury: Neuroprotective mechanisms revisited.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common and can cause problems in other organs. Researchers looked at studies using various plants to see if they could prevent or reduce TBI harm. Many plants showed promise in protecting neurons through different mechanisms, such as reducing inflammation. This study aimed to review the available literature on plants and neuroprotection to evaluate their potential for helping people with central nervous system problems.
