The effect of selected nutraceuticals on brain blood vessels and memory.

人类大脑每天接收1000升血液，通过称为毛细血管的微小血管分布。大脑毛细血管的完整性和功能随着年龄的增长而受到损害，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存在的化合物，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.
