Formulated citrus peel extract gold lotion improves cognitive and functional recovery from traumatic brain injury (TBI) in rats by Cheng Guang, Yue Zhiwei, Wang Liwen, Miyauchi Yutaka, Suzawa Michiko, Li Shiming, Ho Chi‐Tang, Zhao Hui, Chen Naiyao

“…The results showed that GL could reduce nerve damage and neurological dysfunction. The mechanisms probably due to that GL could not only reduce the associated damage markers including GFAP, OX-42, TNF-α, COX-2, NF-κB and TLR4 but also promote the expression of VEGF which is responsible for protecting neuronal cells in the injury area. …”
