After completing his high school education at Türk Maarif College in 1998, he earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in economics in Kansas, United States. He then received his doctorate in the same field, actively participating in academic research and publishing various scientific articles.
Over time, Dr. Özyiğit turned to medical science and completed his medical education at the University of Nicosia Faculty of Medicine. In addition to his medical education, he earned a master's degree in Clinical Embryology at the University of Leeds, and then pursued postgraduate studies in Endocrinology at the University of South Wales.
Dr. Özyiğit, who shaped her academic and clinical career with a multidisciplinary perspective, continues her clinical studies particularly in the areas of weight management, metabolic health, and healthy aging. An active member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, Dr. Özyiğit earned American Board certification as a specialist in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine after completing a fellowship in longevity medicine. In her clinical practice, she offers her patients longevity-focused approaches, weight management programs, reproductive medicine applications for the elderly, and treatments to support brain function.

What are the effects of Cerebrolysin on the brain?
Neurodegeneration is a process in which brain cells become damaged over time and their functions are lost. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other neurological diseases are common examples of neurodegeneration. Cerebrolysin is a drug known for its neuroprotective effects and helps reduce the effects of neurodegenerative diseases by protecting brain health. In this article, we will examine the benefits of Cerebrolysin on neurodegeneration and the results obtained from the research.
What is Cerebrolysin?
Cerebrolysin is a drug used to treat brain damage and neurological diseases. This medication contains a biological agent derived from porcine brain tissue hydrolyzate. Cerebrolysin has neuroprotective properties that support the survival of neurons and the protection of brain cells.
Benefits on Neurodegeneration:
- Protects Neurons: Cerebrolysin helps prevent neurons from damage and supports the survival of nerve cells. This feature may be effective in slowing the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.
- Improves Synaptic Communication: Cerebrolysin supports communication in the brain by increasing synaptic communication between nerve cells. It may improve learning and memory by increasing synaptic plasticity.
- Antioxidant Effect: Cerebrolysin has antioxidant properties that fight free radicals. It helps protect neurons by reducing oxidative stress in the brain.
- Reduces Neuroinflammation: Cerebrolysin may help reduce inflammation in the brain. This may be effective in preventing the progression of neurodegenerative diseases and damage to brain cells.
Research and Clinical Applications:
Research on Cerebrolysin has shown that this drug has positive effects on neurodegeneration. Cerebrolysin, which is used in the treatment of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and cerebral ischemia, has also been found effective in clinical Applications.
It has been shown in clinical studies to be highly effective against placebo, especially in mild to moderate-severe dementia group diseases. In addition, scientific studies have shown that cerebrolysin treatment applied both in the acute phase and later in patients with a history of stroke provides improvement in many parameters.
Use and Application of Cerebrolysin Treatment:
Cerebrolysin treatment is usually administered by injection. Dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the severity of the disease and the patient's condition. It is important to follow the instructions set by the specialist doctor who prescribed Cerebrolysin treatment.
However, Cerebrolysin treatment may not be suitable for everyone and it is important to consult a qualified healthcare professional to consider treatment options specifically suited to your current health condition. Those with neurological conditions or concerns about Cerebrolysin treatment should determine the correct treatment plan with the guidance of a qualified physician.
