Olive leaf extract prevents obesity, cognitive decline, and depression and improves exercise capacity in mice

Abstract Obesity is a risk factor for development of metabolic diseases and cognitive decline; therefore, obesity prevention is of paramount importance. Neuronal mitochondrial dysfunction induced by oxidative stress is an important mechanism underlying cognitive decline. Olive leaf extract contains...
