| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Brain aging is a normal biological process, but it may also be a risk factor for various dementias, such as Alzheimer’s disease. It has been suggested that healthy lifestyle choices, such as regular physical exercise and social interactions, may decelerate the brain aging process. Dietary improvements may also protect the aging brain; however, few studies have assessed this possibility. In this study, we have developed the two assay systems based on mouse study and human study, for evaluating the effect of dietary supplementation on the prevention of brain aging.
