Objective: Gisenoside Rg1 is a potent neuroprotectant in ginseng. The aim of this study was to investigate the elimination effect of Rg1 on cadmium (Cd)-induced neurotoxicity.
Materials And Methods: A cumulative Cd exposure mouse model was established.
The neurotoxicity caused by cadmium (Cd) is well known in humans and experimental animals. However, there is no effective treatment for its toxicity. In this study, we established Cd toxicity models in cultured cells or mice to investigate the detoxification effect of edaravone (Eda).

However, how Eda exerts its neuroprotective effects remains to be elucidated. We investigated the neuroprotective effects of Eda in cultured hippocampal neurons and in a mouse model of AlCl/D-galactose-induced cognitive impairment.

However, it is unclear whether THSG exerts neuroprotective functions by regulating neurotrophic factors and their associated signaling pathways. In this study, hippocampal neurons were challenged with staurosporine (STS) to establish a neural damage model.
