Abstract in brief

  • Urolithin A (UA) can improve memory and reduce brain inflammation in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by protecting neurons from death, reducing harmful protein deposits, and promoting new neuron growth.
  • UA works by activating specific brain cell signaling pathways, such as increasing AMPK activity and decreasing inflammatory pathways like P65-NF-κB and P38 MAPK, which helps lessen neuroinflammation and amyloid plaque formation.
  • These findings suggest that UA, a natural metabolite, has potential as a therapeutic agent for AD because it can protect brain cells, reduce inflammation, and improve cognitive function in affected mice.
