What did studies of abdominal ultrasound find?
6Studies of abdominal ultrasound measured 6 outcomes, among them memory, Tyzzerella abundance and Iba-1 and GFAP immunoreactive areas.
Memory
no changein mice1
1 study
Memory
no changein mice1
Abdominal ultrasound showed no clear effect on memory in mice (SAMP8 mice; compared with sham treatment).
“Neither object recognition memory nor spatial memory differed significantly between treated and sham-treated SAMP8 mice.”
