Abstract
Post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a complicated neuropsychiatric disorder that is marked by long‐term neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and poor neuroplasticity in stress‐sensitive brain areas. Hesperidin is a citrus‐derived flavanone glycoside that has been reported to have multitarget neuroprotective effects with antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and neurotrophic regulatory activities. However, its integrated effects across convergent pathological pathways in validated PTSD models remain insufficiently defined.
