Leaf extract of Dendropanax morbifera a potential ingredient for memory-boosting functional foods
Researchers from South Korea examined the effects of Dendropanax morbifera Leveille (DML) on proliferating cells and differentiated neuroblasts exposed to mercury. Their findings were published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine. The brain is susceptible to methylmercury toxicity, which causes irreversible damage to neurons and glial cells. DML is widely used as a folk medicine to […]
