Polyherbal and Multimodal Treatments: Kaempferol- and Quercetin-Rich Herbs Alleviate Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease.

A review identified potential herbal treatments for Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Common herbs rich in kaempferol and quercetin show promise in reducing plaque formation, suppressing oxidative stress, and modulating signaling pathways. A polyherbal cocktail of these compounds could be a potential alternative treatment for AD.

The effect of acute crocin on behavioral changes and BDNF expression level in socially isolated rats.

Researchers investigated the effects of social isolation on behavior in rats and the potential therapeutic effects of crocin. Social isolation caused anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive-like behavior, and hyperlocomotion. Crocin reversed these effects and increased BDNF expression, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent.
