EXCERPTS: . . . previous research had suggested that hops — the plant added to most brews to give them a variety of bitter, aromatic and sometimes fruity aromas, depending on the variety — counteract some of the chemicals that may cause Alzheimer’s.
So, in a study published recently in ACS Chemical Neuroscience, Cristina Airoldi and Alessandro Palmioli from the Milan Center for Neuroscience took a closer look at the chemical compounds that make up different kinds of hops.
Hopping Into the Research for Alzheimer's
[...] One of the ways that Alzheimer’s likely causes damage is through the clumping of amyloid beta proteins in human nerve cells. Airoldi, Palmioli and their colleagues have now found that the antioxidants within the hops they tested inhibit this clumping of amyloid beta proteins... (MORE - missing details)
