The cellular processes behind the neuroprotective properties of glycyrrhizin. Glycyrrhizin may enhance the integrity of the blood-brain barrier by preventing astrogliosis, neuronal apoptosis, microglia activation, oxidative-induced cellular damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction. These methods enable glycyrrhizin to boost anti-excitotoxicity (for epilepsy treatment), decreasing axonal damage and brain edema (TBI improvement), cognitive and motor function improving (AD and PD treatment), and reducing demyelination (MS treatment). MS, multiple sclerosis; TBI, traumatic brain injury; PD, Parkinson; AD, Alzheimer’s disease.
