Abstract
Ilex paraguariensis (Herb mate) is a native plant from South America, widely consumed through the infusion of dried leaves. The presence of antioxidant properties in herb mate may be relevant and contribute to evaluating the effect of its compounds against oxidative stress, which could cause neurodegenerative diseases. Despite having health benefits, there are reports of the presence of heavy metals in extracts obtained from the infusion. One of these metals is iron (Fe), found in large amounts in herb mate. To reverse the cumulative effects of metals and Fe in the body, the use of Deferoxamine (Dfx) is indicated, being a potent chelator of Fe. In this work, we aimed to evaluate the antioxidant potential of the micro-encapsulated extract of I. paraguariensis (MEIP) supplemented with Dfx on zebrafish behavior and biochemical biomarkers. To evaluate the effect per se and the supplementation, four groups were established: the first group was the control (water); the second, fish treated with MEIP; the third group was formed of fish treated with Dfx; while the fourth group was treated with both MEIP and Dfx. When applied alone, Dfx presents an anxiogenic-like pattern on zebrafish (Danio rerio), while the MEIP shows an anxiolytic-like behavior. The antioxidant enzymes are re-modulated close to control when the MEIP + Dfx is applied. The cholinergic system shows an activation of the signaling, as well as the heme radical group formation, which is not affected by the Dfx-chelating effect. Thus, the supplementation of MEIP with Dfx is important to transform this extract into one that is safer and healthier for human consumption.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most progressive neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system in the elderly, causing motor impediments and cognitive dysfunctions. Dopaminergic (DA) neuron degeneration and α-synuclein (α-Syn) accumulation in substantia nigra pars compacta are the major contributors to this disease. At present, PD remains untreatable with a huge burden on the quality of life. Therefore, we attempt to explore novel treatment strategies by detecting effective drugs that stop or arrest PD's progression via modifying disease-specific pathways. Chrysin is a flavonoid derived from passion flowers and possesses anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-depression properties. In the present study, we assessed the neuroprotective potential of chrysin in transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans models of PD. We observed that chrysin reduced the aggregative toxicity of α-Syn and diminished DA neuron degeneration induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), reduced food-sensing behavioral disabilities, and expanded the nematodes' lifespan. Moreover, chrysin augmented the ubiquitin-like proteasome and superoxide dismutase activities in transgenic C. elegans models. Further, we observed the anti-oxidative role of chrysin by reducing the internal cellular reactive oxygen species levels in 6-OHDA-intoxicated C. elegans. Together, these findings supported chrysin as a possible treatment for PD and encouraged further investigation of chrysin's mechanism of action as a neuroprotective medicine in the future.
