Used in research for its potential neuroprotective effects, particularly in models of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. Shows ability to reduce inflammation in brain cells and may improve cognitive function by modulating signaling pathways involved in memory and learning. Also studied for anti-cancer properties, especially in inhibiting growth of certain tumor cells, including those in colorectal and liver cancers. Exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities that contribute to its therapeutic potential. Investigated for metabolic health benefits, such as improving insulin sensitivity and reducing fat accumulation in liver cells, suggesting possible use in managing metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
