Neuroprotective, Anti-Inflammatory and Antifibrillogenic Offerings by Emodin against Alzheimer’s Dementia: A Systematic Review
Priyanka Saha, Faraz Ahmad
Abstract
: Emodin is a potential anti-AD dietary supplement; however, further studies are warrantied to thoroughly understand its target players and mechanisms. Moreover, human clinical data on emodin-mediated amelioration of AD phenotype is largely lacking, and must be addressed in the future. Lastly, the safety of exogenously supplemented emodin must be thoroughly evaluated.
