Abstract

Glutamate excitotoxicity has been observed in association with neurodegenerative disorders. This study aimed to investigate whether a phycoerythrin‐derived tryptic peptide of Pyropia yezoensis (PYP) reduces glutamate‐induced excitotoxicity and neuronal senescence in primary rat hippocampal neurons.
