Abstract:Neurodegenerative diseases pose a growing global health
challenge,
with limited effective therapeutic options. Mitochondrial dysfunction,
oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, apoptosis, and autophagy are
common underlying mechanisms in these diseases. Thymol is a phenolic
monoterpene compound that has gained attention for its diverse biological
properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory
activities. Thymol supplementation could provide potential neuroprotection
and improve cognit… Show more
