Ursolic Acid, Compound in Fruit Peels, Promotes Myelin Repair, Early Study Finds
"A team led by investigators at Thomas Jefferson University found that ursolic acid, a natural anti-inflammatory compound found in some herbs and fruit peels like apples and prunes, halted neurodegeneration and promoted myelin repair in mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a disease that mimics MS in humans."
"To assess the compound’s effectiveness, researchers started treating mice with ursolic acid at a daily dose of 25 mg/kg, 60 days after EAE onset. Treatment lasted for 60 days.
After 20 days of its use, they started noticing the first improvements in animals’ overall condition. Mice that were completely paralyzed and unable to move at the experiment’s start regained their ability to walk, despite still showing signs of weakness."
