• Uses

  Daucosterol can be used as an efficient and inexpensive neuroprotectants, to which the IGF1-like activity of daucosterol contributes and it could be potentially developed as a medicine for ischemic stroke treatment. Moreover, daucosterol has neuroprotective activity, it has proliferation-enhancing activity of neural stem cells (NSCs), and it as an efficient and inexpensive growth factor alternative that could be potentially developed as a medicine for ischemic stroke treatment, can significantly reduce neuronal loss.
  The study demonstrated that daucosterol works as an efficient and inexpensive growth factor alternative that could be used in clinical medicine and research applications.
