Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Natural Products on Cerebral Ischemia

Abstract

Cerebral ischemia with high mortality and morbidity still requires the effectiveness of medical treatments. A growing number of investigations have shown strong links between inflammation and cerebral ischemia. Natural medicine’s treatment methods of cerebral ischemic illness have amassed a wealth of treatment experience and theoretical knowledge. This review summarized recent progress on the disease inflammatory pathways as well as 26 representative natural products that have been routinely utilized to treat cerebral ischemic injury. These natural products have exerted anti-inflammatory effects in cerebral ischemia based on their inflammatory mechanisms, including their inflammatory gene expression patterns and their related different cell types, and the roles of inflammatory mediators in ischemic injury. Overall, the combination of the potential therapeutic interventions of natural products with the inflammatory mechanisms will make them be applicable for cerebral ischemic patients in the future.

Cardiovascular and Neuronal Consequences of Thyroid Hormones Alterations in the Ischemic Stroke

“…Its onset depends on several risk factors including age, race, and personal habits such as cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption, socioeconomic status and comorbidities like diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia and hypertension [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Depending on the cause of its insurgence, stroke can be classified in the two following main categories: the hemorrhagic and the ischemic.…”
