Abstract
Neurological diseases are increasingly linked to dysfunction in the gut-brain axis.
- The gut-brain axis facilitates interactions between the gastrointestinal tract and the nervous system.
- Dysfunction in this axis is associated with various neurological diseases.
- Saponins, found in Traditional Chinese Medicine, may provide neuroprotective effects.
- Research suggests that saponins could influence key mediators within the gut-brain axis.
- Targeting the gut-brain axis with saponins is considered a promising approach for neuroprotection.
