Product Data
Biological target:
N-Acetyl-L-leucine is an endogenous metabolite.
In vitro activity:
TBD
In vivo activity:
This study demonstrates that orally administered N-acetyl-L-leucine (NALL) significantly improved motor and cognitive outcomes in the injured mice, led to the attenuation of cell death, and reduced the expression of neuroinflammatory markers after controlled cortical impact (CCI) induced experimental TBI in mice.
