Cholesterol Increases Risk of Alzheimer's
Well known is the effect of cholesterol on the heart and circulatory system, but recent studies show unhealthy cholesterol levels endanger your mind increasing the risk of Alzheimer's disease as well. Researchers believe that a protein involved in the formation of the brain-clogging plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease may also play a role in cholesterol regulation. These recent findings may explain the link between high cholesterol levels and increased levels of amyloid-beta(Aâ), a protein that forms the plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.
Nature Cell Biology published the findings citing that researchers found that a larger protein called amyloid precursor protein (APP), which generate Aâ proteins, also help to maintain healthy cholesterol levels. One Alzheimer's related function of APP involves cholesterol metabolism and a cycle where plaque forming amyloid beta protein levels are controlled by cholesterol and cholesterol is controlled by amyloid beta levels. This relationship can lead to increasingly unhealthy levels of cholesterol and amyloid beta protein and increase the danger of Alzheimer's disease.
What is the Best Way to Promote Healthy Cholesterol and Amyloid Beta Protein Levels?
Since high cholesterol levels promote high amyloid beta levels, maintaining healthy cholesterol levels can improve your amyloid beta protein levels. The easiest and best way to achieve and maintain healthy cholesterol levels is using LipidShield™, the breakthrough scientifically formulated and doctor recommended cholesterol fighting Nutraceutical product. Inositol Hexanicotinate is one of the 6 primary active ingredients in LipidShield which combines 5 other active ingredients that compliment and increase the effectiveness of Inositol Hexanicotinate. These other ingredients have been extensively researched and studied and are proven effective for lowering Bad Cholesterol and triglycerides and increasing Good Cholesterol.
