The contribution of altered neuronal autophagy to neurodegeneration
2022, Pharmacology and TherapeuticsCitation Excerpt :These data would support that targeting this oxidizing enzyme pathway could also be a therapeutic approach against AD. Consistent epidemiological and clinical data in the literature have shown the beneficial effects of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) on brain health, cognition, and dementia (Lauretti et al., 2022, Chapter, pp.415-422). Additionally, several preclinical studies using rodent models of AD have confirmed these findings showing that indeed chronic administration of EVOO results in a positive effect on memory deficits and synaptic function, a significant reduction of neuroinflammation, and a decrease in both Aβ and tau neuropathology (Farr, Price, Dominguez, et al., 2012; Qosa, Mohamed, Bataresh, et al., 2015).
