Autophagy
upin mice2
Rapamycin + acarbose + phenylbutyrate activates autophagy in mice.
“the drug cocktail was able to increase resilience to cognitive impairment, inflammation, and AD protein aggregation while enhancing autophagy and synaptic integrity, preferentially in female cohorts.”

Rapamycin + acarbose + phenylbutyrate decreases cognitive impairment in mice.
“treatment with the drug cocktail was overall more effective than any of the individual drugs for relieving cognitive impairment by targeting multiple aging pathways.”
