Improved Cerebellar Structure and Neuronal Restoration by Combined Extracts of Ginger, Garlic, and Turmeric in Lead-Exposed Rats: A Histological and Morphometric Study
Background: Heavy metal toxicity, particularly from lead exposure, poses significant neurodevelopmental risks, with the cerebellum being a key target.This study evaluated the ameliorative potential of a phytobiotic formulation comprising aqueous extracts of Zingiber officinale (ginger), Allium sativum (garlic), and Curcuma longa (turmeric) on lead-induced cerebellar damage in Wistar rats.
