Antioxidant Therapy Shows Early Promise Against Alzheimer’s Disease - Improved Blood Flow Boosted Cognition And Behavior In Mice With AD-Like Illness

For the first time, new research demonstrates that curbing harmful antioxidant processes in the brain’s vasculature can reverse some of the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease. A natural enzyme of the immune system — NADPH oxidase — has been found to have toxic side effects, producing free radicals in the brains of mice.
