Myrtus communis subsp. communis improved cognitive functions in ovariectomized diabetic rats.

Researchers explored whether Myrtus communis subsp. communis (MC) could alleviate cognitive impairment in diabetic rats that had undergone ovariectomy. To test their hypothesis, the team performed various experiments on the rodents and found that MC significantly improved their cognitive function. The study indicates that MC could serve as a potential therapeutic agent for brain-related disorders in both menopausal women with diabetes and those without the condition.
