A study suggests that drinking decaffeinated coffee could improve our memory, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Researchers said the drink could improve the memory of people suffering from brain diseases or age-related forgetfulness.

They gave a dietary supplement with decaffeinated coffee to mice with type 2 diabetes. The disease lowers glucose levels in the brain, causing memory impairment. However, after receiving the treatment for five months, the mice showed raised glucose levels.

Dr Giulio Maria Pasinetti of the Mount Sinai School in New York, who led the research, said tests on humans could follow. （点击《每日电讯报》查看原文）

咖啡可提高记忆力

       据英国《每日电讯报》报道，研究显示，饮用不含咖啡因的咖啡可以提高人的记忆力。

       科学家称，对于脑部病变和年老引发的健忘，喝咖啡就能缓解症状。

       二型糖尿病导致大脑葡萄糖供给不足，因此记忆力减退，但患有此病的老鼠饮用去咖啡因咖啡五个月之后，大脑葡萄糖供给量上升。

       纽约西奈山医学院的朱利奥·玛丽亚·帕西内蒂博士主导此项研究，他表示，人体临床试验可以随之展开。
