Studies of cognitive impairment show salutary effects of acute administration of Ang IV and its analogs, as well as AT4R activation. Brain RAS peptides appear most effective administered intracerebroventricularly, close to the time of learning acquisition or retention testing. Ang-(1-7) shows anti-dementia qualities.
Neurosci Biobehav Rev, 2018 ↗“The effects have been promising, because I found myself not only better in actual routine work, but also studying and learning, which was really hard to me before. It felt like combining mental clarity with neural plasticity.”
“The effects have been incredible. It feels like my background distractibility has just vanished. I can lock in and focus even when my phone and other distractions are right next to me.”
