Sweet orange essential oil and (+)-limonene prevent oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and apoptosis in differentiated SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma/BV-2 microglia co-culture neurodegeneration models
Based on these results, sweet orange EO and its main component, (+)-limonene, can be considered as neuroprotective agents and are promising candidates for complementary therapy in Parkinson's disease.
