Research progress in neuroprotective effect of taxifolin on neurological diseases
Taxifolin is a natural flavonoid in pinaceae plants,vegetables,and fruits.This article reviewed the research progress in effect of taxifolin in nervous system diseases in recent years,including Parkinson's disease,Alzheimer's disease,Huntington's disease,cerebral amyloid angiopathy,spinal cord injury,hepatic encephalopathy,cerebral ischemia reperfusion,glioblastoma multiforme and epilepsy.The neuroprotective mechanism of taxifolin in anti-neuronal apoptosis,anti-neuroinflammation,anti-oxidative damage and inhibition of abnormal accumulation of proteins was discussed to provide reference for further understanding the preventive effect of taxifolin on nervous system diseases.
