Role of quercetin and caloric restriction on the biomolecular composition of aged rat cerebral cortex: An FTIR study.

Aging brain is characterized by a change in biomolecular composition leading to a diverse range of neurological diseases. Anti-aging research is of current interest, to lessen the burden of age-related macromolecular damage through antioxidant supplementation and caloric restriction. However, data concerning the effect of these anti-aging regimens on age-related biomolecular changes in rat brain is still lacking.
