Treatment With Vitamin C Dissolves Toxic Protein Aggregates In Alzheimer’s Disease

Researchers at Lund University have discovered a new function for vitamin C. Treatment with vitamin C can dissolve the toxic protein aggregates that build up in the brain in Alzheimer’s disease. The research findings are now being presented in the Journal of Biological Chemistry…

Grape Seed May Ward Off Alzheimer’s

Grape seed contains natural antioxidants called polyphenols that may help ward off Alzheimer’s Disease, according to researchers at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City who write about their findings in a paper about to be published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease…

Advances In Research Into Alzheimer’s Disease

Advances in research into Alzheimer’s disease: transporter proteins at the blood CSF barrier and vitamin D may help prevent amyloid β build up in the brain Advancing age is a major risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease and is associated with build- up of the peptide amyloid β in the brain…

Fluorescent Fish Could Hold The Key To Understanding Diabetes And Other Diseases

Scientists from Queen Mary, University of London have discovered a new way of detecting zinc in zebra fish, that could pave the way for furthering our understanding of diseases like type 2 diabetes, prostate cancer and Alzheimer’s. The results will be announced today (3 July) at the Sixth International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry, in Brighton…

Coffee Wards Off Alzheimer’s Because Unknown Ingredient Teams Up With Caffeine

An unknown ingredient in coffee teams up with caffeine to stimulate blood levels of a critical protein called GCSF, short for granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, that appears to put off the development of Alzheimer’s disease…

Dietary Changes Appear To Affect Levels Of Biomarkers Associated With Alzheimer’s Disease

Following a low-saturated fat and low-glycemic index diet appears to modulate the risk of developing dementia that proceeds to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), although making a switch to this dietary pattern may not protect those already experiencing cognitive difficulty, according to a report in the June issue of Archives of Neurology, one of theJAMA/Archives journals…

Antioxidant Effects Of Caffeine In Coffee May Protect Against Alzheimer’s And Heart Disease

Scientists are reporting an in-depth analysis of how the caffeine in coffee, tea, and other foods seems to protect against conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease on the most fundamental levels. The report, which describes the chemistry behind caffeine’s antioxidant effects, appears in ACS’ The Journal of Physical Chemistry B…

New evidence that caffeine is a healthful antioxidant in coffee

Scientists are reporting an in-depth analysis of how the caffeine in coffee, tea and other foods seems to protect against conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease on the most fundamental levels.

Diets High In Fish Oil Have A Beneficial Effect In Patients At Risk Of Alzheimer’s

Scientists today agree that there are five molecules that are known to affect or cause Alzheimer’s disease, which plagues an estimated five million Americans. The potency of these molecules is linked to environmental factors such as diet and lifestyle.
