Studies have shown that oxidative stress is involved in neurodegeneration and active ingredients of many berry fruits, such as strawberry, raspberry, black currant, blackberry, blueberry, mulberry, have anti-oxidative abilities. Therefore, it is theorized that increased consumption of antioxidants may be effective in preventing or ameliorating brain aging and in neurodegenerative diseases. A research group led by Prof. Musthafa Mohamed Essa from Sultan Qaboos University in Sultanate of Oman reviews the neuroprotective effects of berry fruits on neurodegenerative diseases are related to phytochemicals such as anthocyanin, caffeic acid, catechin, quercetin, kaempferol and tannin. In this review, they made an attempt to clearly describe the benefcial effects of various types of berries as promising neuroprotective agents. This review has been published in the Neural Regeneration Research (Vol. 9, No. 16, 2014).

已有研究证实，氧化应激参与神经退行性变的进展，而很多浆果中，如草莓、覆盆子、黑加仑、黑莓、蓝莓、桑椹的有效成分有抗氧化作用，由此认为抗氧化剂可有效预防神经退行性变的发生和进展。来自阿曼卡布斯苏丹大学的Musthafa Mohamed Essa教授所带领的团队发表的文章综述了浆果因其含有花青素、咖啡酸、槲皮黄酮、山奈本分和丹宁酸而具有抗氧作用，作为神经退行性疾病神经保护剂的潜力效应。详细内容见《中国神经再生研究（英文版）》杂志2014年8月第16期。
