Exercise reduced cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s model mice
In a three-month experiment in genetically engineered mice, exercise enhanced the breakdown of fat droplets in the brain and reduced their buildup.In a three-month experiment in genetically engineered mice, exercise enhanced the breakdown of fat droplets in the brain and reduced their buildup.
Mouse studyExercise
Who was studiedMale 5×FAD mice, three months, against control 5×FAD mice
What changedExercised Alzheimer’s-model mice had better recognition memory than non-exercised controls
The catchBehavior was measured only after treatment, without tracking cognitive decline within individual mice
