Abstract Introduction: Sporoderm-Removed Ganoderma lucidum Spore Powder (S-GLSP), derived from the spores of the medically valued fungus Ganoderma lucidum, exhibits diverse pharmacological activities and shows considerable potential in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its underlying mechanisms of action remain incompletely elucidated. This study aims to investigate the protective effects of S-GLSP against AD and to explore the molecular mechanisms involved.
