In vitro study shows that maslinic acid inhibits serine proteases, key enzymes necessary for the spread of HIV within an individual's body.

[2] Maslinic acid increases EAAT2 (GLT-1) glutamate reuptake and may reduce glutamatergic toxicity in rats.

[6] Maslinic acid demonstrates antioxidant capabilities against oxygen and nitrogen reactive species.

[8] These mechanisms could contribute to enhanced protein synthesis, growth rates, and joint support.

[9] Maslinic acid has been shown to improve muscle mass in the elderly when combined with resistance exercise.
