Plain-language summary
Transgenic Alzheimer's-model mice on a high-fat diet — a setup that accelerates cognitive decline — were supplemented with carnosine. The intervention preserved performance on memory tasks, suggesting carnosine offsets some of the metabolic and oxidative drivers that link diet to neurodegeneration.
Key takeaways
- ›Carnosine reversed diet-induced cognitive impairment.
- ›Effect observed in a genetically vulnerable strain.
- ›Implicates metabolism-neuroprotection crosstalk.
