Is your doctor and stroke hospital looking at this and IMMEDIATELY realizing this might be a solution to your 5 lost cognitive years from your stroke.
Or is your doctor and stroke hospital doing nothing with this? Do you prefer your incompetence NOT KNOWING? OR NOT DOING?
Their reasons for doing nothing?
Laziness? Incompetence? Or just don't care? No leadership? No strategy? Not my job?

Abstract
Because old age is the greatest risk factor
for dementia, a successful therapy will require an understanding of the
physiological changes that occur in the brain with aging. Here, two
structurally distinct Alzheimer's disease (AD) drug candidates, CMS121
and J147, were used to identify a unique molecular pathway that is
shared between the aging brain and AD. CMS121 and J147 reduced cognitive
decline as well as metabolic and transcriptional markers of aging in
the brain when administered to rapidly aging SAMP8 mice. Both compounds
preserved mitochondrial homeostasis by regulating acetyl-coenzyme A
(acetyl-CoA) metabolism. CMS121 and J147 increased the levels of
acetyl-CoA in cell culture and mice via the inhibition of acetyl-CoA
carboxylase 1 (ACC1), resulting in neuroprotection and increased
acetylation of histone H3K9 in SAMP8 mice, a site linked to memory
enhancement. These data show that targeting specific metabolic aspects
of the aging brain could result in treatments for dementia.
