A spirulina-enhanced diet provides neuroprotection in an α-synuclein model of Parkinson's disease.
Inflammation in the brain plays a major role in neurodegenerative diseases. In particular, microglial cell activation is believed to be associated with the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD). An increase in microglia activation has been shown in the s...
