Gastrodia elata Blume (Tianma) Extract Mitigates Simulated Microgravity–Induced oxidative stress and enhance learning and memory in Caenorhabditis elegans

Key Points

• Gastrodia elata extract effectively reduces oxidative stress reactions in C. elegans, improving their cognitive abilities and memory.
• In conditions simulating microgravity, treatments with Gastrodia elata led to a notable increase in memory capabilities in the model organism.
• Assessment involved testing C. elegans under oxidative stress to evaluate changes in learning and memory after administration of the extract.
• These findings highlight the possible neuroprotective effects of Gastrodia elata, suggesting further exploration in related physiological contexts.
