Treatments included DGN (1.5 \u00b5M), pterostilbene (PTB) (1.5 \u00b5M), their combination (0.25 \u00b5M and 0.5 \u00b5M), and donepezil (1.2 \u00b5M) as a standard drug for comparison. The effects of treatments were assessed through cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, apoptosis, inflammatory cytokines, and BDNF levels using various assays, including flow cytometry, ELISA, Western blotting, and inhibitory assays for NOS, H\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      O\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      -mediated oxidative stress, DPPH, AChE, and \u03b2-secretase.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>DGN and PTB combination indicated increased cell viability, reduced microglial activation, decreased apoptosis, and lower ROS levels, with the maximum effect observed in the combination group (0.5 \u00b5M).
