For example, a combination of NAC (1200 mg/day) and L-arginine (1600 mg/day) for 6 months to treat 8 oligo-menorrhoeic patients with PCOS helped restoring the menstrual function, as evidenced by the increased number of menstrual cycles, and significantly decreased the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) index (144)
McCoy and colleagues reported that 5-day treatment of dissociated rat hippocampal neurons with Dihexa increased dendritic spine density approximately three-fold compared to vehicle control (~41 spines per 50 m of dendrite versus ~15 spines), with the increase reflecting both new spine formation and increased spine-head width consistent with synaptic maturation [2]
