Effects of β-hydroxy-β-methyl butyrate on working memory and cognitive flexibility in an animal model of aging.

Abstract
:

Normal aging results in cognitive decline and nutritional interventions have been suggested as potential approaches for mitigating these deficits. Here, we used rats to investigate the effects of short- and long-term dietary supplementation with the leucine metabolite β-hydroxy-β-methyl butyrate (HMB) on working memory and cognitive flexibility.
