Study found that social isolation stress and individual housing cause cognitive issues and psychiatric diseases. Acorus calamus (AC) has potential therapeutic value for neurological disorders. This study examined AC's antidepressant and antioxidative effects on rats subjected to long-term social isolation stress.
Various plant extracts were examined for their ability to reduce oxidative stress in brain cells. Elderberry, Queen Garnet plum, and clove showed neuroprotective effects, while elderberry also demonstrated treatment effects. Further research is needed to explore their potential as therapies for oxidative stress-related disorders.
Aphrodite, an herbal blend, was found to improve symptoms of sexual dysfunction, depression, and anxiety in females with major depression disorder and SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction. Additional research is needed to understand how Aphrodite achieves these effects.
Study finds metabolites in plant roots may have neuroprotective effects and potential as Parkinson's disease drugs. Emodin shows strong binding activity and stability, while other compounds inhibit specific targets. Study suggests link between redox-mediating activities and PD-related protein targets.
Dehydrated red cabbage, with higher temperatures resulting in increased bio-compound concentrations, demonstrated neuroprotective effects lasting up to 48 hours, making it a potential functional food ingredient for Parkinson's disease treatment.
This study explores the acetylcholinesterase-inhibitory potential of various compounds found in the bark of (Combreatceae). Arjunetin and arjunglucoside I can cross the blood-brain barrier. These compounds show potential as cognition-enhancing agents and have a high binding energy. The kinetics of AChE inhibition were also tested.
Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) is effective for treating stroke, but we don't know the active ingredients or how it works. You should care because understanding its mechanism can help us develop better treatments.
Researchers discovered four new neolignan glycosides in Bletilla striata, which showed promising neuroprotective effects against glutamate-induced PC12 cell injury. These compounds are the first of their kind found in the genus Bletilla, indicating the potential of Bletilla striata as a source of anti-neurodegenerative agents.
