Metformin improves cognition of aged mice by promoting cerebral angiogenesis and neurogenesis
2020-03-26
Abstract excerpt
The cerebral microvasculature is essential for preservation of normal cerebral function. Age-related decreases of neurogenesis and cognitive function are accompanied by reduced blood flow and a decline in neural stem cell (NSC) number. Here, we report that metformin administered by tail vein injection enhanced cognition in aged but not young mice in a dose-dependent manner. Further, metformin restored cerebral blo...
