Alcohol Extracts from Ganoderma Lucidum Delay the Progress of Alzheimer’s Disease by Regulating DNA Methylation in Rodents
This research investigated how extracts from the medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum could help slow down Alzheimer’s disease progression by affecting DNA methylation, which is an important process that regulates genes. The study found that alcohol-based extracts from this mushroom could improve memory and learning while protecting brain cells from damage. Impacts on everyday life: • Provides evidence for the traditional use of Ganoderma lucidum as a natural remedy for cognitive health • Suggests a potential natural supplement option for preventing age-related cognitive decline • Demonstrates how traditional medicines can be scientifically validated for modern therapeutic use • Opens new possibilities for developing natural treatments for Alzheimer’s disease • Highlights the importance of dietary supplements in maintaining brain health
