Nitric oxide and vibration linked to more brain proteins in blood

In a trial of 29 healthy adults, the combined intervention was associated with changes in brain fluid movement alongside higher blood levels of brain-derived proteins.In a trial of 29 healthy adults, the combined intervention was associated with changes in brain fluid movement alongside higher blood levels of brain-derived proteins.
