Neurodegenerative diseases are caused by the gradual loss of neurons’ function. These neurological illnesses remain incurable, and current medicines only alleviate symptoms. Given social economic burden rising frequency neurodegenerative diseases, there is an urgent need for development appropriate therapeutics. Natural compounds gaining popularity as alternatives to synthetic drugs due their neuroprotective properties higher biocompatibility. While natural compounds’ therapeutic effects disease treatment have been investigated in numerous vitro vivo studies, few moved clinical trials. This article provides first systematic review trials evaluating safety efficacy five most prevalent disorders: Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral Huntington’s disease.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative autoimmune disease characterized by the destruction of myelin sheath neuronal axon in central nervous system. Many risk factors, including environmental, epigenetic, genetic, and lifestyle are responsible for development MS. It has long been thought that only adaptive immune cells, especially autoreactive T pathophysiology; however, recent evidence indicated innate cells also highly involved initiation progression. Here, we compile available data regarding role play MS, drawn from both human animal research. While B lymphocytes, chiefly enhance MS pathology, regulatory (Tregs) may serve more protective role, as can depending on context location. Cells immunity, macrophages, microglia, astrocytes, dendritic natural killer (NK) eosinophils, mast varied roles.

BackgroundMelatonin is an indoleamine hormone secreted by the pineal gland at night and has essential role in regulating human circadian rhythms (the internal 24-h clock) sleep-wake patterns. However, it recently gained considerable attention for its demonstrated ability disease management. This review discusses major biological activities of melatonin, metabolites as nutritional supplements, bioavailability food sources.MethodsThe information acquisition process involved conducting a comprehensive search across academic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Wiley, Embase, Springer using relevant keywords. Only most recent, peer-reviewed articles published English language were considered inclusion.ResultsThe molecular mechanisms which melatonin induces therapeutic effects have been subject various studies.ConclusionWhile was initially understood to only regulate rhythms, recent studies indicate that far-reaching effect on organs physiological systems, such immunity, cardiovascular function, antioxidant defense, lipid hemostasis.
