Last Updated: 2024/11/03, Recently, a joint team of Japanese Saitama Medical University and American researchers confirmed that caffeine can improve the symptoms of dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease. at the same time, it can also inhibit the production of abnormal proteins accumulated in the brain of patients. According to reports, the research team gave about 18-month-old experimental rats with Alzheimer's disease as subjects.

Recently, a joint research team composed of Japanese Saitama Medical University and US researchers confirmed that caffeine can improve the symptoms of dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease, while also inhibiting abnormal protein production accumulated in patients 'brains.

According to introduction, the research team will suffer from Alzheimer's disease about 18 months old experimental rats as the object, give them a month of continuous caffeine, daily feeding amount converted into humans, equivalent to drinking 5 cups of coffee a day, and then cognitive, motor and other eight functional experiments to test the state of the rats. The results showed that the caffeine-fed rats made fewer mistakes in the maze test than the unfed rats, arrived at their destination earlier each time they changed sites, and performed almost as well as the healthy rats. Caffeine-fed rats also showed reduced deposition of abnormal proteins in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex, areas responsible for memory, suggesting that caffeine also inhibits the activity of enzymes that produce abnormal proteins.

The researchers said the experiment confirmed assumptions made in past medical investigations, and although the subjects were rats, it has positive implications for future clinical use in humans as a way to inhibit the progression of the disease
