Phyllodulcin demonstrates potential as a natural therapeutic agent for Alzheimer’s disease (IMAGE)
Caption
Researchers from Korea have now identified phyllodulcin, a major component of hydrangeas, as a potential candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. In this animal model study, phyllodulcin controlled the formation and degradation of amyloid aggregates, thereby targeting the main cause of AD. It also reduced memory impairment and improved memory formation processes in the hippocampus, thereby displaying great promise as a therapeutic agent.
