| Saffron Cognition Randomized Trial | In this review, we want to systematically sort out the evidence about the antidepressant effects of five main culinary spices: turmeric, saffron, ginger, chili pepper and black pepper. | 3 | Zhong Lu (2026) | Mood food: antidepressant effects of culinary spices |
| Saffron Cognition Randomized Trial | 34 36 37 38 Now there is more and more evidence that depression is actually a systemic inflammatory problem, people with MDD have a higher comorbidity rate with immune and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, metabolic syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease (–). | 3 | Zhong Lu (2026) | Mood food: antidepressant effects of culinary spices |
| Saffron Cognition Randomized Trial | A large number of animal experiments have found that curcumin has similar antidepressant effects in several commonly used animal models of depression, such as olfactory bulbectomy, corticosterone-induced stress, and monoamine depletion caused by reserpine (). | 3 | Zhong Lu (2026) | Mood food: antidepressant effects of culinary spices |
| Saffron Cognition Randomized Trial | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 10 Depressive has become the main causes of global disease burden, causing great disability and health problems worldwide (). | 3 | Zhong Lu (2026) | Mood food: antidepressant effects of culinary spices |
| Saffron Cognition Randomized Trial | Growing evidence highlights the therapeutic promise of non-pharmacological interventions, notably saffron ( Crocus sativus L.) and structured exercise, both of which exert pleiotropic effects through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective pathways. | 4 | Li L (2025) | Integrative effects of saffron and physical activity on endurance performance, quality of life, cognitive, emotional, and metabolic outcomes in age-related and neurodegenerative diseases. |
| Saffron Cognition Randomized Trial | Age-related diseases, including cardiovascular disorders, type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, and age-related eye diseases, represent leading causes of disability and mortality worldwide. | 4 | Li L (2025) | Integrative effects of saffron and physical activity on endurance performance, quality of life, cognitive, emotional, and metabolic outcomes in age-related and neurodegenerative diseases. |
