<i>Piper Longum</i>’s Neuroprotective Role Against Amyloid-β and Okadaic Acid-Induced Toxicity in U87MG Cells Through the Lipocalin-2 Pathway
These findings demonstrate that <i>P. longum</i> exerts neuroprotective effects against Aβ- and tau-induced toxicity in an astrocyte cell model by alleviating the damage from Aβ and OKA that induce neuroinflammation and decreasing LCN2 levels in astrocyte cells. Additionally, there is need to investigate other underlying mechanisms for novel use of <i>P. longum</i> that may contribute to AD recovery in the future.
