The Effects Of L-Deprenyl On Parkinson's Disease

203 Words1 Page

L-Deprenyl has been widely used as a B-type monoamine oxidase (MAO-B) inhibitor in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. The ability of L-Deprenyl to effectively reduce the extent of dopamine breakdown in the brain allows for the slower progression of symptoms. Remarkably, early studies on rats have revealed a significant life prolonging potential of the drug. The antioxidant-eliciting functions by L-Deprenyl have been implicated as a possible mechanism to its positive influence on longevity, supported by the Free Radical Theory of Aging. The current study will further test the multiple effects that L-Deprenyl has on antioxidant levels, cognition, growth, maturation and the overall aging process throughout the lifespan of Acheta domesticus,

  • Chemical Bonds In Alzheimer's Disease

    229 Words  | 1 Pages

    Alzheimer’s disease, the most common type of dementia, results in damage to the brain. Alzheimer’s disease affects over five million people and is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. A brain of a person with Alzheimer’s disease will have fewer neural cells and connections between those cells than a person without Alzheimer’s will, resulting in decreased memory and a decline in cognitive abilities. This type of damage can be better understood and possibly prevented through the implementation of the appropriate drugs by examining the roles of differing types of chemical bonds in Alzheimer’s disease. Proteins, which are the building blocks of all organisms and are responsible for multiple cellular functions, can only accomplish

    Cancer Drug Offers New Hope for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Diseases The movie “Awakenings” aside, there’s no really good treatment for the half a million Americans living with Parkinson’s disease. Dopamine-replacing drugs often help control the movement disorders that are the hallmark of the disease. But they don’t work for all patients, and they don’t bring any relief from the cognitive effects of the disease — in fact, they often make them worse. That’s why there’s a lot of excitement about a small study using nilotinib (Tasigna) to treat Parkinson’s disease. The drug, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat cancer, suppresses tumor growth by spurring cells to do some housecleaning.

    This tragic circumstance – dementia – is one that befalls more and more people every year even as we celebrate the feats of science in concocting more and better treatments for illness and stretching out our sojourn on this increasingly less mortal coil. It is one of many immense costs that the human race bears – on individual, familial and societal levels – for greater longevity.

In susceptible individuals, this can lead to sedative abuse and misuse (defined as any use of those prescription medications outside of the intent for which it was prescribed), and create a plethora of serious consequences. Sedative use disorders are regarded as considerable contributors to disability and mortality worldwide. Despite strict government regulation of these drugs in most of the countries, their abuse and its consequences have not only persisted, but also increased. Therefore physicians who are in charge of prescribing sedatives have a significant role in reversing such trends.
