Silibinin and naringenin reduce anxietyAnxiolytic effects of silibinin and naringenin on zebrafish model: A preclinical study.
Our study aimed to determine whether silibinin and naringenin, two flavonoids, could reduce anxiety caused by acute stress using a zebrafish model.
We assessed their effects through behavioral tests, noting that the treated zebrafish showed increased exploration in the upper and well-lit areas of their tanks compared to the control group.
The results suggest that these flavonoids may have potential as therapeutic agents for anxiety with their significant anxiolytic properties.

Silibinin shows promise for anxietySilibinin ameliorates depression/anxiety-like behaviors of Parkinson's disease mouse model and is associated with attenuated STING-IRF3-IFN-β pathway activation and neuroinflammation.
We explored how silibinin, a compound from the Silybum marianum plant, might alleviate anxiety and depression in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease. Using various behavioral tests, we found that silibinin treatment significantly reduced anxiety-like behaviors while also improving the condition of hippocampal neurons.
Additionally, it restored levels of key mood-regulating neurotransmitters. By lowering markers of neuroinflammation, silibinin showed promise as a potential treatment for anxiety and depression associated with Parkinson's disease.

Silibinin reduces anxiety symptomsSilibinin ameliorates anxiety/depression-like behaviors in amyloid β-treated rats by upregulating BDNF/TrkB pathway and attenuating autophagy in hippocampus.
We investigated the effects of silibinin, a compound from milk thistle, on anxiety and depression-like behavior in rats exposed to amyloid beta. The findings were promising, showing that silibinin significantly reduced anxiety and depression symptoms in various behavioral tests.
Additionally, it was effective in minimizing brain damage associated with these conditions. The treatment appears to work by enhancing the BDNF/TrkB pathway and reducing autophagy in the hippocampus, suggesting a multifaceted role in improving mental health.

Herbal anxiety treatment insightsPlant-based medicines for anxiety disorders, part 2: a review of clinical studies with supporting preclinical evidence.
We delved into the effects of silybum marianum, among other herbs, on anxiety disorders based on a thorough review of clinical studies.
Our findings suggest that silybum marianum, along with several other plant-based remedies, has shown potential for alleviating anxiety when used over extended periods.
However, we must note that conclusions should be taken cautiously due to some study limitations, including small sample sizes and short treatment durations.
Overall, while there is some support for silybum marianum's effectiveness, further rigorous research is necessary to confirm its benefits for anxiety.
