Although 6-shogaol, a constituent of ginger, has been reported to have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects on neuronal cells, the effects of 6-shogaol on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have not yet been investigated. Here we aimed to determine whether 6-shogaol exerts neuroprotective effects agains...
