Research in Brief
Alzheimer’s disease is a feared but all too common form of dementia. Could grape seed extract delay its onset or prevent its progression? Two recent animal studies show very promising results. A study in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease showed that mice bred genetically to develop Alzheimer’s had dramatically lower levels of a specific form of??-amyloid (A??) peptide, a substance implicated in the promotion of Alzheimer’s disease, after ingesting grape seed extract.
According to lead researcher, Dr. Giulio Pasinetti: “This is the first study to evaluate the ability of grape-derived polyphenols to prevent the generation of a specific form of ß-amyloid (Aß) peptide, a substance in the brain long known to cause the neurotoxicity associated with Alzheimer disease.” The results “strongly suggest that GSPE (grape seed polyphenolic extract) should be further tested as a potential prevention and/or therapy for Alzheimer’s disease.” (The Mount Sinai Hospital, 2011) This adds to a previous 2008 study which showed that mice treated with grape seed extract had significantly reduced Alzheimer’s disease-type cognitive deterioration compared to control mice, due to the prevention of amyloid formation.
