Behavioral and neurochemical deficits in aging rats with increased neonatal iron intake: silibinin’s neuroprotection by maintaining redox balance
Aging is a critical risk factor for Parkinson’s disease. Silibinin, a major flavonoid in Silybum marianum, has been suggested to display neuroprotective properties against various neurodegenerative diseases. In the present study, we observed that neonatal iron (120 μg/g body weight) supplementation...
