Neil Tuckwell·Science writer covering the biology of aging. Turns cutting-edge anti-aging research into stories you'll want to read over morning coffee.··10 min read
ヒト臨床試験のデータは、複雑ながらも正直な姿を描いています。現時点で最大規模の試験であるSmartAge研究は、100名の高齢者に12か月間0.9 mg/日を投与しましたが、有意な認知効果は認められませんでした(P=0.47)[2]。ただし、用量はかなり低いものでした。より小規模なパイロット研究では、同様の用量で3か月間、強い記憶効果を発見しました(Cohen's d 0.77)[7]。軽度認知症の介護施設入居者85名を対象とした試験では、高用量スペルミジンがMMSEスコアを2.23点向上させました(p=0.026)[10]。
