Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ana Claudia Custodio-Silva"
- Ana Claudia Custodio-Silva's research primarily focuses on neuroprotection and therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson's Disease (PD) and epilepsy, highlighting the potential of natural compounds and plant-derived phytochemicals as alternative treatments.
- Recent findings indicate that purple carrot extract and essential oils from Lippia grata can ameliorate biochemical and behavioral deficits in animal models of Parkinsonism, suggesting their neuroprotective qualities against oxidative stress and dopaminergic neuron loss.
- Additionally, her work on compounds such as melittin from bee venom has demonstrated protective effects against seizures and neuroinflammation, further contributing to the exploration of unconventional therapies for managing chronic neurological conditions.
