Scientists link brain lithium loss to early Alzheimer’s changes
Researchers have discovered that naturally occurring lithium in the brain is depleted early in Alzheimer’s disease, especially in the prefrontal cortex, and that restoring physiological levels with lithium orotate in mice can prevent brain damage and memory loss. The findings suggest lithium deficiency may be a modifiable risk factor for Alzheimer’s.
Lithium is best known in medicine as a mood stabilizer given to people with bipolar disorder and depression.
'Lithium not only powering EVs, but also reversing Alzheimer'
Anyone who thinks lithium is, first and foremost, the key component in an electric car’s battery, watch this. Scientists have discovered that a lithium supplement also appears to help combat memory loss, which offers new hope for Alzheimer’s patients. According to a recent publication by Nature, the world’s leading multidisciplinary science journal, low levels of the metal contribute to cognitive decline. But what exactly is lithium? What is lit…
A team from Harvard University (USA) has tested the link between lithium and alzhéimer and the health of the brain, in general, in mice. They have also seen levels of this substance drop dramatically between people with signs of dementia. Does this mean that the alzhéimer is caused by a lack of lithium? Is lack of lithium a consequence? Or is it another factor? What is known. Alzhéimer is characterized by the accumulation of ovules and plates of…
