- Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive condition caused by the loss of dopamine-producing cells in a specific brain area, leading to motor and non-motor symptoms.
- Complementary and alternative medicine, especially natural compounds, are being researched for their potential to protect nerve cells and manage PD symptoms in conjunction with traditional treatments.
- This review focuses on how natural compounds work at a molecular level, their effectiveness in clinical studies, and how this knowledge can help develop new therapies for PD.
Several Pelargonium species are cultivated mainly to produce essential oils used in perfume industry and for ornamental purposes. Although the chemical composition and biological activities of their essential oils were extensively investigated, there is limited information about the chemical composition of their non-volatile constituents. In this study, we report an Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS)-based metabolomics approach for the annotation and analysis of various metabolites in three species; P.

This study was directed to explore the prophylactic effect of fruit peel extract against irradiation-induced colitis in rats. GC/MS analysis of the petroleum ether extract led to recognition of 33 compounds in the unsaponifiable fraction and 15 fatty acid methyl esters in the saponifiable part.
