The combination of HT-ac and HBET improves the cognitive and learning abilities of heat-stressed mice by maintaining mitochondrial function through the PKA–CREB–BDNF pathway

The aim was to investigate whether the combination of hydroxytyrosol acetate (HT-ac) and ethyl β-hydroxybutyrate (HBET) can improve the cognition of heat-stressed mice, meanwhile exploring the mechanism of action.
