The cysteine-rich whey protein supplement, Immunocal®, preserves brain glutathione and improves cognitive, motor, and histopathological indices of traumatic brain injury in a mouse model of controlled cortical impact

Highlights

• Immunocal® significantly enhanced resilience to TBI induced by closed head injury in mice.

• Immunocal® preserved brain GSH/GSSG and attenuated demyelination and neuronal degeneration.

• Most significantly, Immunocal® improved motor and cognitive deficits induced by TBI.

• Immunocal® holds significant promise as a preventative agent for TBI.
