    Rehmannioside A (REA) reduces neuroinflammation and cognitive deficits after traumatic brain injury (TBI) by inhibiting microglial activation.

  • 2

    In a mouse model of TBI, REA improved neurological function and spatial memory while decreasing cerebral edema and neuronal degeneration.

  • 3

    REA therapy resulted in a dose-dependent reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines in LPS-activated microglial cells.

  • 4

    The neuroprotective effects of REA are associated with decreased phosphorylation of p65 (NF-κB) and p38 (MAPK) in activated microglia.

  • 5

    The study supports REA as a potential therapeutic candidate for managing TBI and other neuroinflammatory disorders.
