Abstract:Beets (Beta vulgaris L.) are a source of numerous bioactive compounds, including betalain pigments, phenols, and saponins. The bioactive compounds show neuroprotective properties due to their antioxidant activity (they protect cells against oxidative stress caused by the overaccumulation of reactive oxygen species), anti-inflammatory effects, and the ability to lower the activity of acetylcholinesterase. The most common pigment present in beetroot is betanin. Scientists have repeatedly demonstrated the antioxi… Show more
“…These bioactive constituents play a pivotal role in the potential therapeutic benets of beetroot in managing the processes associated with diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. 12 Meanwhile, highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) proling of bioactive compounds in beetroot extracts, offering valuable insights for further research. 13 Molecular docking simulations provide a computational framework for predicting the interactions between beetroot constituents and target proteins associated with the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and Alzheimer's disease.…”
