Polysaccharides extracted from common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) attenuate cognitive impairment via suppressing RAGE/p38/NF-κB signaling and dysbiosis in AlCl3-treated rats

Patients may find it challenging to accept several FDA-approved drugs for Alzheimer's disease (AD) treatment due to their unaffordable prices and side effects. Despite the known antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and microbiota-regulating effects of common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) polysaccharides (FEP), their specific role in preventing AD has not been determined. Here, this study investigated the preventive effects of FEP on AD development in AlCl
