  1. Acute exercise alters brain glucose metabolism in aging and Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 78 out of 100. The Journal of physiology 2024-09-11 Biomarkers

    There is evidence that aerobic exercise improves brain health.

  2. From June 2017 to December 2021, 19 participants were enrolled, randomized within dose cohorts (5 active: 3 placebo) of 60 mg once/day and 60 mg twice/day; 1 participant was enrolled and completed 60 mg three times/day. 10 active drug and 5 placebo participants completed all study procedures.
