AD is a difficult condition to treat not only because of the many potential causes but also because detection and progress tracking is nearly impossible. This new technique being developed may deconstruct this problem by giving providers another way to monitor neural pathways.
A new study indicates the possibility to monitor the progression of Alzheimer's disease by monitoring major brain antioxidant levels using noninvasive techniques — ScienceDailyIn a breakthrough human study, anti-oxidant, glutathione (GSH), which protects the brain from stress, has been found to be significantly depleted in Alzheimer’s patients compared to normal subjects. As GSH is a very important anti-oxidant that protects the brain from free radicals, the findings give us another measure to use when diagnosing potential for the advancement of Alzheimer’s disease or recognizing those that are in the throes of Alzheimer’s advancement. -
