Kyowa Hakko Bio Co., Ltd. and Kirin Holdings Company, Limited are pleased to announce a sponsored satellite program at the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) annual conference, NUTRITION 2024. This groundbreaking session will focus on the neuroprotective effects of citicoline, highlighting its potential to enhance cognitive function and combat brain aging.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how Citicoline works at a cellular level and positively impacts brain health. This program uses advanced scientific techniques to explore its effects on neurons, astrocytes, and microglia and explain the profound benefits of Citicoline supplementation. By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand how scientists use specialised tests to examine brain cells and assess brain health.
- Learn about citicoline’s potential benefits for cognitive function and aging, supported by recent research.
- We discuss the need for further research to fully understand citicoline’s role in maintaining brain health.
Participants will also have access to a comprehensive analysis showing how citicoline can enhance cognitive function and behavior, highlighting its potential as a supplement to combat cognitive decline and promote healthy brain aging.
The session will be chaired by Karen E. Todd, RD, CSCS, EP-C, CISSN, vice president of global marketing for Kyowa Hakko USA, and Danielle Citrolo, PharmD, vice president of scientific and regulatory affairs for Kyowa Hakko USA, will host two distinguished experts to discuss: “Beneficial Effects of Cognizin® “Effects of citicoline on cognitive function and behavior” and Loukia Lili, PhD, Senior Director of Bioinformatics at Thorne Healthtech. “Characterizing the effects of citicoline administration on brain health using integrated gene expression and pathway modeling analyses”
Groundbreaking New Science
It is important to understand the scientific method behind the research. Transcriptomics techniques study the activity of genes in cells by looking at all the RNA molecules produced by genes within a cell or group of cells. This technique allows scientists to understand which genes are active, their level of utilization, and how genes change under different conditions. Such insights are essential to learn how cells function and respond to different factors such as treatments and diseases, which could lead to healthier cellular aging and longer, healthier lives.
Join us on Saturday, June 29, 2024 from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM CST in Room W375B for this enlightening session to learn how Cognizin® Citicoline Supports Brain Health and Cognitive Function!
For a deeper science dive, join us for a poster theatre session led by Dr. Eri Nakazaki, Manager, Kirin Holdings Company, Limited.Investigating the specific molecular and functional effects of citicoline on brain health It will take place on Sunday, June 30, 2024 at 12:00 PM CST in Hall F1 (The Hub).
