Effect of Water and Ethanol Extracts from Solid-State Fermented Wheat Product on the Protection and Repair of Brain Cells in Zebrafish Embryos.

Extracts from can cause neural cells to produce nerve growth factor (NGF) and protect against neuron death. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of ethanol and hot water extracts from solid-state fermented wheat product on the brain cells of zebrafish embryos in both pre-dosing protection mode and post-dosing repair mode. The results showed that 1% ethanol could effectively promote zebrafish embryo brain cell death.
