Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder marked by a gradual decline in cognitive and behavioral functions. Despite advancements in elucidating several potential mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of AD, there remains a limitation in effective supplements or medications for its intervention. Resveratrol, a natural antioxidant, has emerged as a significant player in the treatment of AD. This article reviews the role of resveratrol in four key aspects: amyloid plaque deposition and neurofibrillary tangles, inflammatory response and oxidative stress, energy metabolism and mitochondrial homeostasis, and neuroprotection and regeneration. Furthermore, we also explore treatment strategies to enhance the therapeutic effect of resveratrol.
