MULTIFUNCTIONAL PRO-LIGANDS AS POTENTIAL ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

ABSTRACT
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting
more than 24
million individuals worldwide.
Although the exact causes of disease development and progression are
unknown,
the amyloid hypothesis links the observed pathologies of elevated
metal ion
levels (Cu2+, Fe3+, Zn2+), deposition of amyloid peptide in senile
plaques,
oxidative stress and neurodegeneration in a cohesive manner.
As part of a possible intervention for this process, a series of
multifunctional
pyridinone pro-ligands were designed and synthesised.

So, it is the other two metals we should be concerned about?

I heard a recent radio show where another model of the disorder suggests
that some degree of the plaques is a desired protection against
develpment of the disorder.

That's very good ..

This article is about the use of metal chelating drugs to
treat disease states ..

METAL CHELATING DRUGS ..

The theme is metal chelators in diseases ..

When you see an article which supports a thesis you may have
.. you post it .. y'hear ..

Yup, and which of the 3 metals is it, if any at all?

The article was about the plaques containing them, so the radio report
was right on topic. I just ran across it again today. Sure nuff, it
says we need some level of it for normal functioning in the brain, with
the 3 metals and all it seems.

You need to learn how to think outside the box more and less connecting
dots that might not even be present.

In other words you say .. "accept the fact your thesis may be
wrong" ..

Now why would I do that .. ?

Especially when OTHER people .. GO OUT OF THEIR WAY .. and produce a
thesis which .. coincidentally .. is EXACTLY what my thesis is .. ?

The article .. is about metal chelating drugs in disease states ..

Several reasons. First the thesis of the article is not yours.

second as meant to support the eating meat and its iron is the cause of
* ALL * disease it fails. They clearly said the cause of the disorder
is unknown and clearly they see the 3 metals in question at those levels
as an effect not a cause.

Third the plaques in question are in the part you snipped thought by
some part of a normal brain function.

Forth, because the evidence in the real world has already dismembered
the meat and iron idea in part and in whole. That evidence provided on
request, much of it provided in your own misunderstood posts.

Iron reduction therapy for all disease .. and the thesis .. "isn't

You are really a whiney little btch .. aren't ya ..

I suppose the thesis is .. HERS .. eh ..
