The effect of selected nutraceuticals on age-associated cerebral capillary dysfunction and cognitive deficits.

人类的大脑每天接受1000升的血液，这些血液分布在毛细血管中。随着年龄的增长，大脑毛细血管的完整性和功能受到损害，这可能会导致记忆障碍。我们的实验室已经确定了几种天然化合物，可以预防与年龄相关的脑毛细血管缺陷。该项目的主要目的是探索这些药物是否有利于恢复脑毛细血管功能和记忆。

The human brain receives 1000L of blood per day, distributed through minute vessels called capillaries. The integrity and function of brain capillaries is compromised with aging and this may contribute to memory disturbances. Our laboratory has identified several naturally occurring compounds that prevent age-associated defects of brain capillaries. The primary aim of this project is to explore if these agents are beneficial for restoring brain capillary function and memory.
