A Mixture of Artemisia argyi and Saururus chinensis Improves PM(2.5)-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction by Regulating Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Response in the Lung and Brain.

This study investigated the impact of a mixture of plant compounds (AASC) on cognitive dysfunction in mice exposed to fine particulate matter (PM) smaller than 2.5 µm. The results confirmed cognitive dysfunction in the PM group, which resulted in oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. AASC suppressed brain and lung oxidative stress and inflammation, which reduced brain Alzheimer's beta (Aβ) expression. This suggests that consuming plants with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity may prevent cognitive decline caused by PM exposure.
