| Sesame (particularly sesame seeds and sesame oil) has been studied for its potential neuroprotective effects, including relevance to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) Sesame (seeds/oil) — AD relevance: Preclinical literature (sesamin/sesamolin/sesamol and sesame oil) supports neuroprotection via antioxidant + anti-inflammatory mechanisms, with reported effects on amyloid toxicity/aggregation in models. Human AD-specific clinical evidence is limited. Primary mechanisms (conceptual rank): Bioavailability / PK relevance: Effects are typically chronic (weeks) and metabolite/remodeling driven. Clinical evidence status: Predominantly preclinical for AD mechanisms; not established as disease-modifying in humans. -Sesame seeds are rich in sesamin, sesamol, and sesaminol, lignans with strong antioxidant properties.-Sesamol has been shown to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, and suppress NF-κB signaling -may inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) -Sesamol may help inhibit Aβ aggregation Mechanism Effect ↓ ROS (Oxidative stress) Protects neurons from oxidative damage ↓ NF-κB Reduces neuroinflammation ↓ AChE Increases acetylcholine levels ↓ Aβ aggregation Limits amyloid plaque formation ↑ BDNF Supports neurogenesis Nutritional Richness -Healthy fats: High in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (especially omega-6) -Protein: A good plant-based protein source -Minerals: Rich in calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, selenium, and copper -Vitamins: Contains B vitamins (especially B1, B3, B6), vitamin E -High in calories and fats—consume in moderation Sesame Seeds / Sesame Oil — AD / Neurodegeneration Pathway Map

| Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) is a type of nuclear receptor that plays a crucial role in regulating various biological processes, including glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and inflammation. It is primarily expressed in adipose tissue, but it is also found in other tissues, including the colon, breast, and prostate. PPAR-γ has been shown to have both tumor-suppressive and tumor-promoting effects, depending on the type of cancer and the context. In some cancers, activation of PPAR-γ can inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis, while in others, it may promote tumor growth. PPARγ – Plays a central role in adipogenesis, lipid storage, and insulin sensitivity. – Widely expressed in adipose tissue, but also present in colon, breast, and immune cells. – In addition to metabolic functions, PPARγ regulates cell differentiation, apoptosis, and has anti-inflammatory effects. – Ligand binding (such as endogenous fatty acids or synthetic agonists like thiazolidinediones) alters transcriptional programs impacting cell cycle and survival. – In many cases, PPARγ is expressed in tumor cells, and its activation has been linked to induction of differentiation and growth arrest. – However, expression levels can differ based on tumor subtype, with some studies reporting elevated levels while others note reductions in aggressive tumors. – Crosstalk with other signaling pathways (e.g., Wnt/β-catenin, MAPK) can alter PPARγ's net effect in cancer cells. |
