Story summary
- A study published in the journal Cell suggests that lunges and squats may protect the brain from aging and dementia.
- Researchers found that exercise triggers the liver protein GPLD1, which strengthens the blood-brain barrier.
- In mice, higher GPLD1 levels improved memory and learning, even without exercise.
- Experts caution that results in mice may not directly translate to humans and emphasize that exercise remains crucial, with plans for human studies underway.
