A recent study done by RUSH researchers discovered that HMB may help protect memory, reduce plaques and ultimately help prevent the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
“This may be one of the safest and the easiest approaches to halt disease progression and protect memory in Alzheimer’s disease patients,” said Kalipada Pahan, PhD, the Floyd A. Davis, MD, Professor of Neurology and professor of neurological sciences, biochemistry and pharmacology at RUSH Medical College.
Based on the results of the study, HMB is now presenting a promising avenue of potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease patients.
Results from the study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, were recently published in the Cell Reports.
