Nuts to combat Alzheimer's
A new scientific paper published in the journalNeurochemical Research suggests that the extract of nuts (the nut except its fiber) has protective effects against oxidative stress and cell death occurring in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.
Ina study coordinated by Abha Chauhan, Director of Development Neuroscience Laboratory, Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities in New York (USA), researchers tested whether walnutextract could protect against oxidative damage induced by beta protein amyloid (Aß) and cytotoxicity. The findings of the research were that this nut extract reduces cell death caused by Aß to reducethe generation of free radicals, reducing damage to the membranes and attenuating the DNA damage. This effect could be due nut extract the active compounds present in nuts, which can increase theability of endogenous antioxidant defenses and may modulate the cellular redox state (reduction-oxidation).
"Oxidative stress and inflammation are important features in the pathophysiology ofAlzheimer's disease. Nuts are a whole food rich in nutrients that not only provide antioxidants, but also alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the omega-3 fatty acids from plants. These components offer nutsanti-inflammatory properties and protect brain cells from oxidative damage, "says Chauhan. The finding represents a promising advance in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases, especially in regardto the consumption of certain foods help maintain or improve cognitive health.
