Preparation of pomegranate against Alzheimer's disease

Scientists at the University of Huddersfield found in garnet compounds that can slow or prevent Alzheimer's disease.

In addition, natural compounds this fruit can reduce the painful inflammation that accompanies diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Parkinson's disease. A useful element of the grenade turned out to be the polyphenol punicalagin – a chemical that can inhibit inflammation in specialized brain cells known as micrologia. This inflammation leads to the destruction of new brain cells, making the condition with Alzheimer's disease progresses.

Effective cure for this disease is still not found, but the punicalagin in pomegranate could prevent it or slow its development. The scientists checked their data on rats. Dr. Olumayokun Olajide said that most of the antioxidant compounds found in pomegranate peel and not in the soft part of the fruit. But adds that the fruit will be useful in any condition. Now chemists are experimenting with the complex derivatives of punicalagin, the future basis for a new, injected oral, drugs that would treat neuro-inflammation.
