The Witte research team published its latest study at J Neurosci (2014-06): The new effect of resveratrol - improving the memory of the elderly.
Sirtuins is a protein deacetylase that can be activated by gentle stress, which regulates cell suitability and survival, slows down the process of aging, and Sirtuins is thought to mediate the cognitive benefits of exercise and carbon-restricted diet. Sirtuins can also be activated by resveratrol, resveratrol is a blueberry and red grape skin extracted polyphenolic compounds, it can improve the rodent and non-human primate memory, in humans, for type 2 diabetes - Glucose regulation defects, inflammatory factors increased disease - and other pathological conditions can improve the relevant memory defects.
Previously, the role of resveratrol in the elderly population was not studied in depth, and the Witte team used obesity to take resveratrol daily for 26 weeks to improve memory time. In particular, it is possible to increase the number of words recalled after a 30-minute interval, and the increase in recall is related to an increase in hippocampus and medial prefrontal cortex activity, indicating that the connections of these structures are enhanced. Resveratrol also reduces body fat levels and increases leptin levels, suggesting that resveratrol improves cognitive function by improving energy metabolism. Witte said the study provided new strategies and a new direction for maintaining brain health during aging.
