AD and Healthy mitochondria

Healthy Mitochondria Could Stop Alzheimer’s by Neuroscience News Whole-brain hemisphere sections of Alzheimer’s mice, the model APP/PSEN1, before and after treatment with the NAD+ booster Nicotinamide riboside (NR). The beta-amyloid plaque content in the brain of the APP/PSEN1 mice (left), clearly visible by Thioflavin S staining in green color and associated to brain damage during the disease, is reduced after 10 weeks treatment with NR (right).
