Methods are described for long-chain acid compositional analyses of human plasma phosphatidylcholines and plasma cholesteryl esters. Conventional procedures were employed for the isolation of these lipids and for the preparation of methyl esters of the acids. The gas chromatographic analytical

Hypertension is the most common risk factor for stroke, coronary heart disease and heart failure, which are the leading causes of death worldwide. Dietary patterns and supplements intakes are becoming important factors in the hypertension. The aim of this study was to estimate the effects of new

OBJECTIVE To see whether combined treatment with oral tacrine (tetrahydroaminoacridine; THA) and lecithin improves the symptoms of patients with Alzheimer's disease. METHODS Multicentre double blind, placebo controlled, random order crossover trial with individual determination of maximum tolerated

l-α-Glycerylphosphorylcholine (l-α-GPC) is a biosynthetic precursor for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in humans, making it a useful as a cognitive enhancer for treating patients with stroke and dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. The aim of this study was to prepare l-α-GPC via Novozym 435

Thrombotic events result from different pathologies and are the underlying causes of severe diseases like stroke or myocardial infarction. Recent basic research now revealed a link between food uptake, food conversion and gut metabolism. Gut microbial production of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) from

N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine (CPA) has neuronal anti-ischemic properties, but it is not absorbed into the brain from the bloodstream, where it shows poor stability and induces side effects. Microparticulate drug delivery systems designed for CPA nasal administration and constituted by mannitol or

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and ACTH, plasma levels of ACTH and cortisol, and serum levels of phospholipid and its fractions were determined in samples taken simultaneously from patients with senile dementia of the Alzheimer type (SDAT), multi-infarct

While their importance in the market-place is steadily increasing in developed (mainly continental Europe) and even in developing countries, compounds included in the broad category of 'cerebroactive' drugs hardly rate a mention in reference pharmacology and therapeutics textbooks. It is an

The nutritional consequences of dementia and the role of diet in the etiology, treatment, and prevention of dementia are the subjects of this review. The major cause of dementia is Alzheimer's disease. Although it has been suggested that aluminum intake may cause this disease, the bulk of scientific

BACKGROUND During induced ischemia for cardiac surgery inefficient anaerobic energy mechanisms predominate. Sustaining aerobic metabolism with perfluorocarbon-supplemented blood cardioplegia theoretically could lead to improved postischemic recovery. Therefore we studied functional recovery after

This paper has reviewed the documentation on the clinical efficacy of choline alphoscerate, a cholinergic precursor, considered as a centrally acting parasympathomimetic drug in dementia disorders and in acute cerebrovascular disease. Thirteen published clinical trials, examining in total 4054

Since Mg(2+)-ATP is the controlling factor for the rate-limiting enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthesis sequence that is targeted by the statin pharmaceutical drugs, comparison of the effects of Mg(2+) on lipoproteins with those of the statin drugs is warranted. Formation of cholesterol in blood, as

Essential hypertension is, at least in many subjects, associated with a decrease in insulin sensitivity, whereas glycemic control is (still) normal. Metaanalyses of hypertension intervention studies revealed different efficacy of treatment on cerebral (cerebrovascular accidents [CVA]) and cardiac

Flavonoids are an important group of recognized antioxidants ubiquitous in fruits, vegetables and herbs. There are epidemiological evidences for the stroke-protecting capacity of flavonoids and while the neuroprotective power of complex extracts rich in flavonoids like those of Ginkgo biloba, green

BACKGROUND Recent studies in animals have shown a mechanistic link between intestinal microbial metabolism of the choline moiety in dietary phosphatidylcholine (lecithin) and coronary artery disease through the production of a proatherosclerotic metabolite, trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). We
