Fisentin, a beneficial plant chemical present in strawberries and cucumbers may prevent Alzheimer’s disease and associated memory loss, according to a study published in the journal Aging Cell.
The experimental study was conducted by the researchers at Salk Institute. Fisetin, a flavonol significantly prevented progressive learning impairments and memory problems. However, the plant chemical did not reduced amyloid plaque formation in the brain that leads to Alzheimer’s disease.
The findings have suggested an amyloid-independent way to treat Alzheimer’s disease.
The neuro-protective, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of Fisetin were proved by previously published research studies.
