Does THIS Protein Cause Alzheimer’s Disease? (bad news)

 

By Kevin DiDonato MS, CSCS, CES

There are millions of people around the world that are affected by Alzheimer’s Disease.

In fact, the latest statistics show that 5 million people (3.2 million women and 1.8 million men) currently live with this disease.

Plus, there are roughly 200,000 people – younger than 65 – who are also living with younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease.

It is estimated that 500,000 people will die this year alone from the disease – and the future looks dim for baby boomers entering the later stages of life.

Statistics show that – without a cure or treatments to slow the progression – Alzheimer’s disease will TRIPLE by 2050.

What can you do about it?

New Research on Alzheimer’s

We live in some pretty exciting times when you think about it.

Diseases that once had no cure - and would take your life - are now being treated with medications in order to 1) cure the disease itself, or 2) make the disease more manageable, enabling people to live a much longer life.

Although there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, there is some pretty fascinating research going on with the disease.

For example, a new study on Alzheimer’s and caffeine ingestion may hold some promise for those affected by Alzheimer’s.

To preface the study, there is a certain type of protein deposit – called Tau deposits – that have been identified in Alzheimer’s patients.

This particular protein is crucial when speaking about cognitive decline – specifically because Tau proteins may disrupt communication in brain nerve cells.

And this disruption may cause the cells to degenerate, which could therefore contribute to cognitive decline.

Also, other studies have shown that caffeine may prevent memory decline during normal aging, and could even reduce the risk for Alzheimer’s.

Well, a new study shows some pretty surprising findings…

They have discovered that caffeine – yes, the stimulant you find in coffee and teas – may reduce the spatial memory deficits, which could improve memory and brain function.

One reason for this improvement, the researchers found, may have been a reduction in the Tau phosphorylation and proteolytic formations found in the hippocampal region.

They also noted that caffeine ingestion reduced many pro-inflammatory and oxidative stress markers found in the genetically modified mice (modified for progressive Tau pathology).

They concluded from their work: “Together, our data support that moderate caffeine intake is beneficial in a model of AD-like tau pathology, paving the way for future clinical evaluation in AD patients.”

New Breakthrough On The Horizon?

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease that impacts the memory and cognitive abilities of many older adults.

And with the baby boomer population getting older, the rise in this disease is expected to triple by 2050.

Although there is no cure currently, there is plenty of work being done behind the scenes to slow the rise in Alzheimer’s.

In fact, the study listed above, is a relatively new study that shows some very promising results.

According to the results, caffeine may slow the development of Tau proteins, which play a crucial factor in memory and cognition in Alzheimer’s patients.

This could provide promise for future research in slowing – or stopping – the progression of this disease.
