Anthocyanins Protect against Kainic Acid-induced Excitotoxicity and Apoptosis via ROS-activated AMPK Pathway in Hippocampal Neurons.

CONCLUSIONS: In summary, our data suggest that although anthocyanins have diverse activities, at least part of their beneficial effects against KA-induced hippocampal degeneration can be attributed to their well-recognized antioxidant properties. PMID: 24393263 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
