Study shows Morus nigra leaf extract reduces depression-like behavior in stressed rats, possibly through antioxidant effects. Potential new treatment for depression.
Summary: Traditional Chinese medicine Gouteng shows neuroprotective benefits in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Compounds like corynoxine B offer potential for new drug development. Relevant for aging population health.
Study evaluated EAFA extract's effect on VPA-induced autism in mice, showing improved behavior, antioxidant activity, reduced inflammation, and neuroprotection. EAFA extract may be a potential treatment for autism.
Silymarin from Silybum marianum plant is a potent antioxidant, liver protective, and potential neuroprotective agent with immunomodulatory properties. It shows promise for treating liver diseases, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and cerebral ischemia.
Researchers studied how Drosophila sechellia evolved specialized olfactory pathways for detecting noni fruit. Increased sensory neuron populations lead to stronger tracking behavior, but not increased sensitivity. Understanding these mechanisms can help explain species-specific behavior in response to environmental cues.
Clitoria ternatea extract shows potential for treating diabetes-induced cognitive impairment. Cobalt oxide nanoparticles may improve brain drug delivery, but high doses are neurotoxic. Low doses show neuroprotective effects, warranting further study.
Researchers studied the impact of functional constipation on quality of life and mental health. The gut-brain axis plays a role in functional gastrointestinal disorders. Traditional treatments have limitations, leading to interest in herbal supplements like ashwagandha and okra for symptom management.
