Effect of Andaliman (Zanthoxylum Acanthopodium DC) Extracts on The Histological Display of Lewy Body in The Brain of Rotenone Induced Wistar Rats

Dementia Lewy Body (DLB) is a form of dementia characterized by abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein protein in the brain, forming lewy bodies that damage the function of neurons and nervous system. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of andaliman fruit extract (Zanthoxylum Acanthopodium DC), which is rich in antioxidants, on the number of lewy bodies in the brain of rotenone-induced Wistar male rats. Histology analysis was performed to observe the number of lewy bodies in the brain. The results showed a significant decrease in the number of lewy bodies in the treatment group compared to the positive control group (p
