N-Acetylcysteine delays age-associated memory impairment

ScienceDirect.com - Brain Research - N-Acetylcysteine delays age-associated memory impairment in mice: role in synaptic mitochondria: Since N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has recently been shown to prevent apoptotic death in neuronal cells and protect synaptic mitochondria proteins from oxidative damage in aged mice, we have investigated whether dietary administration of this thiolic antioxidant retards age-related memory loss.
