Ecballium elaterium attenuates neuroinflammation in an animal model of Alzheimer's disease through modulation of nuclear factor κB pathway.

This study evaluated the potential of a Mediterranean plant as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease by testing its anti-inflammatory properties in rats with AD symptoms. They found that the plant had positive effects on both biochemical markers and behavior in the rats. Additionally, the researchers investigated the plant's impact on the NF-κB pathway, which is responsible for inflammation, and found that the plant could potentially reduce inflammation in individuals with AD.
