A diet of essential amino acids could keep dementia at bay
Fig. 1. Neurodegenerative processes in rTg4510 mice are accelerated by an LPD and ameliorated by Amino LP7.(A) Schematic diagram of the experimental procedure. p.o., per os. (B) Composition of Amino LP7. (C to E) Representative coronal MR images (C), time course of cortex volume alterations (Δcortex volume) (D), and summary of Δcortex volume at 6.5 months (E) of mice in six conditions: rTg4510 mice or their littermate controls under NPD or LPD with or without Amino LP7 administration (n = 3 to 8 for each condition). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) [F(5,28) = 16.98, P (2,25) = 9.19, P = 0.001] with Tukey’s post hoc test was used. All data are expressed as the means ± SEM. Points represent individual animals. The difference between the means is not statistically significant (P ≥ 0.05) for all groups with the…
