Plant compound found in herbs can help treat depression, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease http://rgn.bz/PXvP
Scientists have uncovered more strong evidence that a naturally occurring plant compound found in herbs and other plant-based foods could give brain neurons the boost they need to improve brain health. The results could be a natural and effective treatment for such conditions as Alzheimer’s disease, depression and Parkinson’s disease, among others.
Using a naturally occurring substance known as apigenin, researchers were able to develop new and stronger neurons within a lab setting. Their results are a step forward in demonstrating the effectiveness of using herbs and other sources of apigenin to safely improve brain health and function.
Lab trial reveals brain health improvements in just 25 days
Brazilian researchers from D’Or Institute for Research and Education, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and Federal University of Bahia expanded on earlier animal research that had found flavonoids in general had a positive impact on memory and learning. The Brazilian researchers expanded on those findings, and demonstrated in the laboratory that apigenin can be used to improve neuron formation and strengthen the connections among brain cells.
