  •  
    Curcumin found to provide benefit even in the healthy. This study, though small and very short, found improvement in Triglycerides, salivary amylase, reduced oxidative stress, reduced beta-amyloid protein, increased NO, and reduced liver enzymes.

  •  
    Huperzine A is a great neuroprotector.  Huperzine A is a acetycholinesterase inhibitor. But, Huperzine A also reduces oxidative stress, reduces beta-Amyloid, protects mitochondria, antagonizes NMDA receptors and thus reduces excitotoxicity, and regulates apoptosis.

  • myloid plaques and microgliosis in the brain of Alzheimer’s mice fed with GSE were also reduced by 49% and 70%, respectively
  • Curcumin also significantly reduced brain Aβ burden and microglia activation
  • polyphenol-rich GSE prevents the Aβ deposition and attenuates the inflammation in the brain of a transgenic mouse model, and this thus is promising in delaying development of AD.

Resolution of inflammation is altered in Alzheimer's disease - 0 views

  •  
    Inflammation plays an important role in Alzheimers disease.  Likewise, the ability to resolve inflammation is altered, as this study shows.  This points to natural therapies i.e. omega-3, curcumin, vitamin D...

Nutrients | Free Full-Text | Vitamin C Status Correlates with Markers of Metabolic and ... - 0 views

  • vitamin C deficiency is the fourth most prevalent nutrient deficiency reported in the United States
  • Hypovitaminosis C (defined as a plasma concentration ≤23 µmol/L)
  • The CHALICE (Canterbury Health, Ageing and Lifecourse) study is a unique New Zealand study comprising a comprehensive database of determinants of health
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • The CHALICE cohort of 404 individuals aged 50 years had an average vitamin C intake of ~110 mg/day, which should provide adequate plasma concentrations [14]. Despite this, a significant proportion of the participants had inadequate plasma vitamin C status
  • inadequate plasma vitamin C concentrations (i.e., <50 µmol/L)
  • adequate plasma levels (i.e., >50 µmol/L)
  • Higher plasma vitamin C status was associated with lower weight, BMI and waist circumference
  • plasma vitamin C was negatively associated with blood triglycerides, HbA1c and insulin, and positively associated with HDL levels.
  • No correlation was found between plasma vitamin C and the two indicators of heart health; blood pressure and cardiovascular risk score.
  • 2.4% of 50-year-olds were deficient in vitamin C (i.e., <11 µmol/L)
  • hypovitaminosis C (i.e., <23 µmol/L)
  • A high proportion (63%) of our participants had inadequate plasma vitamin C concentrations (i.e., <50 µmol/L)
  • The association of low vitamin C with obesity in this study replicates results in the literature [35,40,41,42,43,44], and it is apparent that individuals with higher weight require higher intakes of vitamin C to reach adequate vitamin C status
  • higher plasma vitamin C status is associated with lower circulating levels of blood triglycerides, insulin and HbA1c
  • A role for vitamin C in the prevention or management of diabetes and/or metabolic syndrome has been suggested
  • In this study, we also demonstrate lower levels of mild cognitive impairment in those with high vitamin C status
  • The odds of mild cognitive impairment were twice as high for those below 23 μmol/L plasma vitamin C concentration.
  • Vitamin C is present at very high concentrations in the brain
  • animal models have shown that the brain is the last organ to be depleted of the vitamin during prolonged deficiency
  • A recent animal study has shown that moderate vitamin C deficiency may play a role in accelerating amyloid plaque accumulation in Alzheimer’s disease
  •  
    New study: vitamin C levels correlate with cognitive and metabolic health. What is your vitamin C level? Despite the adequate levels of vitamin C intake, a large % of the individuals had inadequate vitamin C levels which points to a demand issue.  Higher oxidative stress, chronic inflammation... would drive demand for vitamin C higher. Lower vitamin C levels were associated with more metabolic disease, ie. DM, and more cognitive decline.
