Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is mainly general form of dementia that is linked to the increase of extracellular amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques. Oxidative stress and neurotoxicity events that are linked to the aetiology of AD have been postulated to be influenced by genetic, environmental, and dietary variables. Using the use of in vitro models, we attempted to determine whether or not Ulva lactuca had antioxidant and neuroprotective properties. SH-SY5Y The research employed pre-existing Neuroblastoma cell lines. Caspase 3 expression was also determined to know the level of protection of neuronal cells. Our results showed that the total extract of UL effectively reduced cell death and caspase 3 levels were also decreased in the cells treated with TEUL. The extract also has effective antioxidant properties proved. Further, it was also proved that the extract also has acetylcholinesterase enzyme inhibitory activity which is essential in treating AD.
