蓝莓汁可以改善老年人记忆

2月 2, 2010

科学日报 2010年1月21日–科学家最近提交了第一份有关人类摄入蓝莓可以改善记忆的报告。蓝莓是富含健康抗氧化剂和其他所谓植物化学物质的来源之一。他们认为这一研究为在人类临床研究中，证明蓝莓是否确实具有记忆增强作用提供了基础。

ScienceDaily (Jan. 21, 2010) — Scientists are reporting the first evidence from human research that blueberries — one of the richest sources of healthful antioxidants and other so-called phytochemicals — improve memory. They said the study establishes a basis for comprehensive human clinical trials to determine whether blueberries really deserve their growing reputation as a memory enhancer.

A report on the study appears in ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Robert Krikorian and colleagues point out that previous studies in laboratory animals suggest that eating blueberries may help boost memory in the aged. Until now, however, there had been little scientific work aimed at testing the effect of blueberry supplementation on memory in people.

Robert Krikorian和他的同事指出：之前的动物实验研究表明食用蓝莓可以帮助提升老龄的记忆。然而，至今为止，还没有针对人类的有关蓝莓营养补充剂是否可以改善记忆的科学研究。

In the study, one group of volunteers in their 70s with early memory decline drank the equivalent of 2-2 l/2 cups of a commercially available blueberry juice every day for two months. A control group drank a beverage without blueberry juice. The blueberry juice group showed significant improvement on learning and memory tests, the scientists say. “These preliminary memory findings are encouraging and suggest that consistent supplementation with blueberries may offer an approach to forestall or mitigate neurodegeneration,” said the report. The research involved scientists from the University of Cincinnati, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Canadian department of agriculture.

在本研究中，伴随有早期记忆衰退的70多岁被试组在2个月中每日饮用2-2 l/2杯市面销售的蓝莓汁。控制组饮用未包含蓝莓汁的饮料。蓝莓被试组在学习和记忆测试中，表现明显改善。报告说：“这些初步的记忆研究成果是振奋人心的，表明不间断摄入蓝莓补充剂有助于预防或减缓神经退化。”参与本研究的科学家包括来自辛辛那提大学（University of cincinnati）、美国农业部（ U.S. Department of Agriculture）和加拿大农业部（ Canadian department of agriculture）。
