University of California Researchers Discover Vitamin B3 Reduces Alzheimer's Symptoms, Lesions

 

An over-the-counter vitamin in high doses prevented memory loss in mice with Alzheimer’s disease, and UC Irvine scientists now are conducting a clinical trial to determine its effect in humans. Nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3, lowered levels of a protein called phosphorylated tau that leads to the development of tangles, one of two brain lesions associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

 

The vitamin also strengthened scaffolding along which information travels in brain cells, helping to keep neurons alive and further preventing symptoms in mice genetically wired to develop Alzheimer’s. READ MORE

Researchers in the U.S. and around the globe are searching for ways to prevent and cure Alzheimer's Disease. Many believe that understanding the cause of Alzheimer's will provide valuable clues to prevention and treatment.

 

Some research directions have resulted in dead ends. Others have introduced more questions than answers. Overall, there is slow steady progression in the research communities with a few breakthroughs.

 

Many researchers believe that if they can understand the causes of Alzheimer's they will better understand how to develop prevention and cure.

Watch this presentation featuring a top Alzheimer researcher address many of the basic questions that are key to understanding this challenging disease.
