The central system is the complex of nerve tissues including the brain and spinal cord with functions to respond to the integrating sensory information.
Inflammation is a natural response of the immune system in which the macrophages of the first defense stimulates the production of a blood palette to cover the wound in case of injury and the production of proinflammatory cytokines to the site of infection to fence off the foreign pathogens.
Inflammation also can be triggered by the immune mistakenly attacking the body tissues in cases of autoimmune disease.
Neuroinflammation is a process of the immune system that responds to harmful pathogens that induced oxidative stress to the brain.
A nerve cell is a brain cell specialized in transmitting nerve impulses.
Neuroinflammation is a medical condition characterized by the inflammation of the central nervous tissues, including the brain and spinal cord.
There are many risk factors associated with the onset of neuroinflammation similar to other tissue inflammation, including infection, traumatic brain injury, toxic metabolites, or autoimmunity.
In other words, neuroinflammation is a complex response to brain injury involving the activation of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species.
Overnutrition in the Western world may be one of the main culprits associated with the widespread neuroinflammation in the aging population.
Neuroinflammatory disease can be acute or chronic. Chronic neuroinflammation that leads to the activation of glial cells and the recruitment of inflammatory cytokines into the brain is found to associate with neurodegenerative diseases.
Most cases of neuroinflammatory disease are associated with the loss of neuronal structure and function. can be measured by the typical inflammatory markers, including CSF Aβ1-42, tau, and p-tau181, and a panel of 37 neuroinflammatory markers in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean.
The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.
In the urgency to discover a natural ingredient for the prevention of chronic inflammatory diseases, researchers examined the neuroprotective activity of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) against the inflammation associated with neurodegeneration and cognitive impairments induced by systemic LPS administration using in vivo rat model system.
The study included young adult Wistar strain male albino rats randomized into four groups: (i) Control, (ii) LPS alone, (iii) LPS + ASH-WEX, (iv) ASH-WEX alone.
According to the tested analysis, orally administered ASH-WEX not only significantly suppressed the cognitive and motor-coordination impairments in rats, but also regulated the expression of various proteins involved in synaptic plasticity and neuronal cell survival.
In LPS-mediated microglial activation-induced damage to neurons via direct cell-to-cell contact or through secretion of inflammatory mediators, the application of ASH-WEX and FIV pretreatment restored neurite outgrowth and protect neurons from apoptotic cell death.
In other words, LPS-induced neuroinflammation activated in microglial-conditioned medium-treated neuronal cultures and microglial-neuronal co-culture were significantly demolished by the application of ASH-WEX.
Collectively, researchers said, "ASH-WEX can be used as a promising natural therapeutic remedial for the prevention of neurodegeneration and cognitive impairments associated with peripheral inflammation and neuroinflammation".
Taken together, Ashwagandha may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of neuroinflammation, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
