Alzheimer’s disease

It is the most common type of dementia, characterised by a marked decline in mental abilities, degradation of nervous tissue and the formation of two types of protein aggregates: amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Both genetic and epigenetic factors are involved in its development. In particular, Alzheimer’s disease is associated with distinct DNA methylation patterns that lead, for example, to the formation of amyloid plaques. However, free radicals, insulin resistance and an imbalanced gut microbiome also have a destructive effect on nerve cells. Mitochondrial dysfunction in brain tissue is also typical.
Epigenetically, faulty methylation patterns can be modified, amyloid plaque formation can be suppressed, and protection and regeneration of nerve cells, especially in the hippocampus (the part of the brain responsible for memory), can be promoted. With the help of certain nutrients, it is possible to achieve not only a slowing down or stopping of the progression of the disease, but even to improve some cognitive abilities (especially memory).
