Abstract:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by the loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is currently incurable and treatment drugs are limited and can only delay the condition. The latest research shows that α-linolenic acid can prolong the survival period of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This article reviews the neuroprotective effects of α-linolenic acid on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis through different mechanisms of action, aiming at providing some references for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
