Aronia melanocarpa: A Review of Potential Antioxidants on Neuroprotection and Cognitive Performance

Abstract

For appropriate neural activity and protection against the detrimental effects of oxidative stress and inflammation, a balanced diet should provide needed nutrients, especially bioactive components. Berry fruits have been shown to help reduce age-related neurodegeneration and enhance motor and cognitive skills. The berry fruits can also affect inflammatory response, cell growth, neurogenesis, and plasticity via regulating signal transduction pathways. Phytochemical compounds such as anthocyanins, procyanidins, flavonoids, and phenolic acids are linked to the neuroprotective effects of berry fruits on neurological illnesses. The present review discussed the preventive properties of Aronia melanocarpa against a variety of neurological disorders.
