Ethanolic extract of Ficus religiosa leaves alleviates aluminum-induced oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and neuroinflammation in rat brain
The present study observed a decline in LPO and neuroinflammation in FR-treated rats, demonstrating the protective effect of FR leaves against Al-induced neurotoxicity. The level of TAO also improved along with improvement in neuronal mass in FR-treated rats, adding to its ameliorative effect. However, further elaborate research is needed to confirm its therapeutic potential against inflammation-driven neurodegenerative diseases.
