Model: 22-month-old male C57BL/6NIH mice 
Dosage: 400 mg/kg of NR for eight weeks, administered in food

Treating aged mice with the NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) precursor NR (nicotinamide riboside) improves memory and reduces pro-inflammatory immune cells.

Aging &amp; Longevity

A vaccine targeting an enzyme that breaks down NAD+, called CD38, counteracts signs of aging in mice. 


Immunity

Human studies show that a higher intake of the naturally occurring molecule spermidine may prevent cognitive impairments and dementia while improving longevity. 


Model: UM-HET3 mice and 5XFAD mice 
Dosage: UM=HET3 mice received 180 mg/kg canagliflozin in chow starting at seven months of age, and FXFAD mice received 180 mg/kg canagliflozin in chow beginning at three months of age

New Study: Diabetes Medication Improves Cognition and Alleviates Alzheimer’s Progression

The diabetes drug canagliflozin improves learning and memory in middle-aged male mice and reduces brain plaques in Alzheimer’s model mice.

The FDA-approved diabetes medication canagliflozin improves cognition in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease in males only.
