Obesity-induced cognitive decline: Role of brain oxidation and tocotrienols - EurekAlert


<p><strong>Obesity is a growing global health concern, linked to heightened risks of memory loss. In a recent study, researchers investigated how obesity affects cognitive function and brain oxidation in mice. They found that obesity decreases learning ability and increases brain oxidation. However, supplementation with tocotrienols helps prevent this cognitive decline. The research highlights the need for further investigation into how obesity impacts oxidative stress in the brain.</strong></p>
