Can Caffeine Be Used to Treat or Prevent Alzheimer's Disease?
The proposed link between caffeine and reductions in the beta amyloid
plaque accumulation characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (AD) suggest a
possible role for caffeine in AD treatment. The latest evidence linking
beta amyloid protein to Alzheimer's disease and exploring the
relationship between caffeine and beta amyloid are featured in a review
article in Journal of Caffeine Research: The International
Multidisciplinary Journal of Caffeine Science, a peer-reviewed journal
from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free
on the Journal of Caffeine Research website until May 1, 2015.
In
the article "Caffeine as Treatment for Alzheimer's: A Review," Abhishek
Mohan, MD, PhD, Old Dominion University (Norfolk, VA), and coauthors
identify the potential opportunities for using caffeine to reduce beta
amyloid levels as a means of preventing, treating, and slowing the
progression of Alzheimer's disease.
"To say that strategizing
medicines to treat Alzheimer's disorders is important is an
understatement," says Patricia A. Broderick, PhD, Editor-in-Chief of
Journal of Caffeine Research, Medical Professor in Physiology,
Pharmacology & Neuroscience, The Sophie Davis School of Biomedical
Education, The City College of New York, The City University of New
York, and Adjunct Professor in Neurology, New York University Langone
Medical Center and Comprehensive Epilepsy Center. "Moreover, to say that
caffeine is just an ordinary staple in our lives, whether caffeine is
part of coffee or a chocolate bar, is also an understatement. Thus, what
Dr. Mohan has published herein is elegant in its simplicity; his work
is critically on target."
