Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline and memory loss. Quercetin, a natural flavonoid found in many fruits and vegetables, has been studied for its potential neuroprotective effects against AD. This synthesis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of quercetin in treating Alzheimer's disease based on multiple research studies.
Neuroprotective Effects in Animal Models:
Reduction of Oxidative Stress:
Improvement in Cognitive and Emotional Functions:
Mechanisms of Action:
Bioavailability Challenges and Solutions:
Synergistic Effects with Other Treatments:
Quercetin demonstrates promising neuroprotective effects in animal models of Alzheimer's disease, primarily through its antioxidant properties and ability to reduce amyloid-β and tau pathology. While its low bioavailability poses a challenge, nanoencapsulation techniques have shown potential in overcoming this limitation. Overall, quercetin appears to be an effective compound in mitigating AD symptoms and improving cognitive functions, warranting further investigation in clinical trials.
