Scientists may have found a food whole plant in exerting a neuroprotective effect, the renowned institute study suggested.
According to the MVP Samaj’s College of Pharmacy, methinic extract of beet fed to experimental animals showed a significant effect in increased motor function at 200, and 300 mg/kg, in doses depending on manner.
Neuroprotection is an action used to ensure the brain's normal function against nerve cell damage, degeneration in inducing impairment.
Beet, best known as the beetroot or garden beet and belonging to the amaranth family, is a perennial plant with leafy stems growing to 1–2 m tall.
According to the MVP Samaj’s College of Pharmacy, methinic extract of beet fed to experimental animals showed a significant effect in increased motor function at 200, and 300 mg/kg, in doses depending on manner.
Oral administrated animals also showed a strong improvement in the intensity of muscular rigidity, duration of catalepsy, akinesia, the number of tremors, locomotor activity, and grip strength.
The efficacy of the extract in the contribution of brain health may be a result of present phytochemicals in restoring the defensive antioxidant enzymes in the brain against the level of lipid peroxidation (LPO), a leading cause of neurodegeneration.
More interestingly, Betalains, major phytochemicals isolated from beetroot also expressed a extraordinary neuroprotective effect in preventing oxidative processes in contribute to the early onset of several degenerative diseases.
In the study of betanin bioavailability in four volunteers with consumption of 300 mL of red beet juice, containing 120 mg of the antioxidant, researchers found that the phytochemical showed protection against certain oxidative stress-related disorders in humans after being absorbed from the gut and identified in urine after 2-4 h, particularly in inhibited lipid peroxidation, a leading cause of neurodegenerative disease.
Dr. Kanner J, the lead author said, “Antioxidant nutrients from fruits and vegetables are believed to be a class of compounds that exert their effects in humans by preventing oxidative processes which contribute to the onset of several degenerative diseases”.
Collectively, Whole food beetroot or beet juice may be used as a therapeutic agent for preventing the early onset and treatment of neurodegenerative disease through the protection of neuro cells against oxidation.
