Abstract

Aging is a degenerative process. Therefore, the background of our study is to evaluate the effects of boron, one of the important underground resources in Türkiye, on aging and related diseases. This study aimed to assess the antioxidant effect and the cognitive functions of boric acid (BA) in a D-galactose (D-gal)-induced aging model.

Research summary

The paper claims that boric acid has a protective effect against oxidative damage and cognitive decline in an aging model. This study is relevant as it explores a potential intervention that may address oxidative stress, a contributing factor to the aging process and age-related cognitive decline.
