Long-Term Supplementation of Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels Concentrate Alleviates Age-Related Cognitive Deficit and Oxidative Damage: A Comparative Study of Young vs. Old Mice.

(L.) Skeels, a fruit known for its medicinal properties, has been found to have significant protective effects against age-related neurological changes in mice. After analyzing the fruit's phytochemicals, young mice were supplemented with different concentrations of the fruit for 16 months. The mice showed improved cognitive function and behavior, along with low levels of malondialdehyde and acetylcholinesterase and elevated antioxidant enzymes. This may be due to the antioxidant and anticholinergic effects of phytocompounds identified in the fruit. These findings suggest potential benefits of (L.) Skeels in preventing age-associated amnesia.
