Protective Effect of Cordyceps militaris Extract Against Cigarette Smoke Extract Induced Neurodegeneration in Zebrafish Model

Key Points

• Neurodegeneration was reduced by the administration of Cordyceps militaris extract, demonstrating a protective effect.
• Analyses showed a significant decrease in oxidative stress markers, indicating restored neural health after treatment.
• Using a zebrafish model exposed to cigarette smoke extract, researchers evaluated the neuroprotective properties of the extract.
• This study suggests potential for Cordyceps militaris extract in neuroprotection; further studies are needed to confirm results.
