Kaempferol Kaempferol can inhibit oxidative damage and neuroinflammation in spinal cord injury. Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory Pan et al. (2020); Ahmed et al. (2021); Liu et al. (2021); Chang et al. (2022); Jafari et al. (2022); Lopez-Sanchez et al. (2022)
Kaempferol shows neuroprotective effects by reducing neuropathic pain in rats and neuroinflammation in BV2 microglial cells. Analgesic, anti-inflammatory
Kaempferol has neuroprotective effects against Parkinson’s disease model and SH-S5Y5 cells. Kaempferol shows inhibitory effects on oxidative and inflammatory markers. Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory
Kaempferol treatment has neuroprotective against neurodegeneration in the striatum and hippocampus of 3-nitropropionic acid (NPA)-induced model. Antioxidant, improves memory
The study showed that kaempferol attenuates epileptic seizure severity. After kaempferol treatment, the result shows the downregulation of pro-inflammatory and upregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines in the epileptic model. Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory
