What is Algae as a Potential Vegetative Source of PUFA for the Prevention of Neurological Disorders about?

Epidemiological and observational studies indicated neurological and mental disorders are associated with reduced diet intake or lower abundance of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the diet. Progressive neurodegeneration is the major cause of neurological disorders. Unfortunately, there are no proper cure and pharmacological medicine currently to overcome neurological disorders. Omega-3 fatty acids are the structural components of neuronal membranes and play a key role in the central nervous system and brain contains 50-60% of lipids, in which PUFA contributed to a maximum percentage. Fatty fish and plant-based foods are popularized dietary sources of omega-3 fatty acids. In recent times, highlighting research has been conducted in algae and its potential in neuroprotection. Algae are considered as one of the potential sources for various secondary metabolites including PUFA especially omega-3 fatty acids due to its sustainability. Algae reported to have neuroprotective effects such as anticholinesterase inhibitory activity, antineuroinflammatory activity, antioxidant, and inhibition of neuronal death. Algae grabbed attention as a vegetative source and researchers have explore
