Aqueous leaf extract of Phyllanthus amarus protects against oxidative stress and misfiring of dopaminergic neurons in Paraquat-induced Parkinson's disease-like model of adult Wistar rats.

This study explored the effects of Phyllanthus amarus extract on Paraquat-induced neurotoxicity in rats. The findings may be relevant for managing and treating neurological damage caused by environmental toxins.

Solanum melongena extract supplementation protected skeletal muscle and brain damage by regulation of BDNF/PGC1α/irisin pathway via brain function-related myokines in high-fat diet induced obese mice.

This study investigated the effects of SM extract (SME) on muscle and brain damage in obese mice. SME supplementation increased muscle-derived myokines and activated neurotrophic factors, potentially providing neuroprotection. SME may be used to prevent muscle and brain damage in obese patients.
