~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Magnesium Reverses Memory Deficits June 27, 2013 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Greetings Friends of Bio-Alternatives, Scientists at the Center for Learning and Memory, Tsinghua University, Beijing, have demonstrated a novel therapy for reversing memory decline associated with Alzheimer's disease. By increasing brain magnesium levels, they found significant cognitive improvement in advanced stage Alzheimer's disease. The study is the first to demonstrate a mechanism for reversing cognitive decline for advanced stage Alzheimer's disease, as well as showing an effective long-term treatment for early stage Alzheimer's disease. "We found that the elevation of brain magnesium may prevent cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease," said Dr. Guosong Liu, Magceutics founder, professor at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, and senior investigator on the study. | |
| In earlier studies, researchers revealed that the elevation of brain magnesium can selectively reduce background calcium signaling in the hippocampus, the brain region controlling memory, and thereby enhance synaptic plasticity and density. Further work by Dr. Liu and colleagues demonstrated that elevating magnesium can reverse memory decline. The new study builds on those findings and sheds light on the mechanism by which increased magnesium levels may act to protect from brain neurodegeneration. To explore the protective mechanism, they investigated major signaling pathways critical for synapse function and memory formation. They found that elevated Aß leads to widespread activation of calcium-dependent signaling molecules that contribute to neuronal degeneration. Magnesium can prevent this type of degeneration by reducing the non-specific calcium activation.

| "This study demonstrated a totally different approach for prevention and reversion of Alzheimer's disease. Instead of continued stimulation of the neural cells as most of the drugs do, Magnesium lets the cell rest by preventing the non-specific activation, attempting to reverse the aging brain to its youthful condition," commented Jennifer Gu, PhD, AIDP vice president of research and development. The study was supported by grants from the National Basic Research Program of China and the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and plans to launch further clinical trials in conjunction with Stanford University in later this year are being pursued.
