Abstract
Compositions comprising one or more unsaturated fatty acids and one or more nitric oxide releasing compounds, and methods for using such compositions for enhancing cognitive function, reducing or preventing a decline of social interaction, reducing or preventing age-related behavioral changes, increasing trainability, maintaining optimal brain function, facilitating learning and memory, reducing memory loss, retarding brain aging, preventing or treating strokes, and preventing or treating dementia in an animal. Preferably, the compositions are food compositions useful for enhancing cognitive function in humans and companion animals.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A composition suitable for enhancing cognitive and related functions in an animal comprising one or more unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) and one or more nitric oxide releasing compounds (NORC) in an amount effective for enhancing cognitive and related functions in an animal.
