Ketone bodies as a therapeutic for Alzheim... [Neurotherapeutics. 2008] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Ketone bodies have been shown to benefit the mitochondria in the brains of those with Alzheimer's disease.  This ketosis can be achieved through low carb/protein, high fat diet.

Neuroprotective Sirtuin ratio reversed by ApoE4 - 0 views

  •  
    ApoE4 allele is known to increase Alzheimer's disease by 10 fold.  One mechanism is through a lowering of SirT1 and an increase in the SirT1:SirT2 ratio.  This SirT1 is the target of resveratrol in red wine.

Insulin resistance and Alzheimer's disease. [BMB Rep. 2009] - PubMed result - 0 views

  • there are dual mechanisms of brain insulin resistance leading to AD-type neurodegeneration: one mediated by endogenous, CNS factors; and the other, peripheral insulin resistance with excess cytotoxic ceramide production.

  • kynurenine pathway is up-regulated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain
  • increases in the excitotoxin quinolinic acid (QUIN
  • indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) is abundant in AD compared with controls
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • QUIN may be involved in the complex and multifactorial cascade leading to neuro-degeneration in AD
  •

Exposure to the Functional Bacterial Amyloid Protein Curli Enhances Alpha-Synuclein Agg... - 0 views

  • Our work suggests that protein misfolding and immune activation in neurodegenerative disorders are triggered through cross-seeding by exposure to exogenous microbial amyloids in the nose, mouth and gut.
  • Streptococcus mutans, Staphlococcus aureus, Salmonella enterica, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and others
  • Gene homologs encoding curli were recently determined also in four phyla: Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Thermodesulfobacteria
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • changes in the gut microbiota induced by antibiotics alter neuroinflammation and amyloid deposition in a mouse model of AD
  • Our data suggest that amyloid proteins in the microbiota are involved in the origination and maintenance of neurodegenerative disease.
  • exposure to bacteria producing a functional extracellular amyloid protein enhances aggregation of AS in brain neurons in aged rats and in muscle cells in nematodes
  • AS aggregates seed aggregation of tau
  • involvement of the vagus nerve in PD
  • microgliosis, astrogliosis and enhanced expression of IL-6, TLR2 and TNF in the brain following curli exposure suggest the occurrence of an enhanced local sterile inflammatory response to AS in the brain.
  • the immune system in both AD and PD have now been extensively established
  • TLR2 activation through exposure to bacterial amyloid is pathogenic
  •  
    Gut bacteria may play crucial role in systemic inflammation that leads to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.  These amyloid production bacteria trigger systemic inflammation that leads to microglia activation and amyloid in the brain.   More establishment of the gut-brain connection.

Modifiable Risk Factors and Brain Positron Emission Tomography Measures of Amyloid and ... - 0 views

  •  
    Can Alzheimer's be prevented?  New study suggests that nutrition, exercise, and healthy weight are key to Alzheimer's prevention.  A decrease in amyloid plaques and tau tangles were noted in normal BMI individuals, those with greater physical activity and those on a mediterranean diet.

  •  
    SAMe helps to correct disordered homocysteine metabolism due to B- vitamin deficiency found in Alzheimer's disease.  SAMe show to reduce amyloid production, improve memory, decrease Tau, and reduced plaque formation.  Now, this was in a mice model, but SAMe as a methyl donor can benefit clients with dementia with minimal side effects.
