Alzheimer's Research Links Cholesterol To Protein Accumulation
Research involving rabbits fed a high-cholesterol diet suggests a link between cholesterol accumulation in the brain and the progression of Alzheimer's disease. A 2006 study indicated that iron and beta-amyloid deposition, associated with cortical cellular damage, occurred in rabbits on long-term cholesterol-enriched diets. This research explores potential environmental drivers for neurodegenerative conditions.
