Alzheimer’s disease, a progressive and irreversible neurodegenerative disorder, is the most prevalent form of dementia with an increasingly growing incidence rate worldwide. As no effective therapeutic modalities are still available for treatment this serious disabling condition, lifestyle modifications, especially nutritional interventions, have been shown to be important in its prevention symptomatic alleviation. In short perspective article, inverse association between intake sunflower seeds mortality from disease proposed, showing that countries highest consumption seeds, death disorder low. The bioactive ingredients their possible neuroprotective mechanisms further unraveled, highlighting potent antioxidant, antiinflammatory neurotrophic effects tocopherols, unsaturated fatty acids phytosterols. Among latter agents, β-sitosterol might particularly combating by enhancing levels nerve growth factor thereby promoting neurite formation. If future epidemiological studies will confirm proposed development dementia, it easy include appropriate seed products everyday diet protect against pathogenesis progression individuals genetic predisposition. Considering rather long latency period before clinical manifestation approaches specific foods promising strategy fighting dementia.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), the major form of neurodegenerative diseases that can severely impede normal cognitive function, makes it one most common fatal diseases. There are currently over 50 million AD patients worldwide. The neuropathology is perplexing and there a scarcity disease-modifying treatments. Currently, early diagnosis has been made possible with discovery biological markers associated pathology, providing strong support for improvement status. search inhibitors from dietary supplements (DSs) become hot topic. Especially widespread use DSs, DSs containing polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenes, polysaccharides other bioactive components prevent by reducing Aβ deposition, inhibiting tau protein hyperphosphorylation, reconstructing synaptic dysfunction, weakening cholinesterase activity, regulating mitochondrial oxidative stress, neuronal inflammation apoptosis. This review summarizes anti-AD effects main their constituents, as well potential molecular mechanisms covers 2017 to 2023. Additionally, we discussed opportunities challenges faced in process prevention treatment, aiming further provide new perspectives functional food development.

Background and Objective: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, that is, characterized by cognitive decline. To date, there are no effective treatments for AD. Therefore, the objective of this study was to map new perspectives on effects pharmacological treatment function overall psychological state in patients with Methods: Two independent researchers searched randomized clinical trials (RCTs) exploring approaches related cognition adults from 2018 2023 PubMed, Web Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library databases. A total 17 RCTs were included review. Results: The results show recent years, drugs have been tested disease, including masitinib, methylphenidate, levetiracetam, Jiannao Yizhi, Huannao Yicong formulas. Most studies conducted populations mild moderate disease. Conclusion: Although some found suggested improvement function, scarcity available highlights need further research area.
