Neuroprotective effects of a Coeloglossum viride var. Bracteatum extract in vitro and in vivo
Abstract The excessive release and accumulation of glutamate in the brain is known to be associated with excitotoxicity. CE, an extract derived from the plant Coeloglossum viride var. Bracteatum, exerted neuroprotective effects against amyloid toxicity and oxidative stress in cortical neurons. The a...
