New therapeutic target for Alzheimer's identified by Asian News International The first published evidence that melatonin may be useful in Alzheimer''s disease was the demonstration that this neuro-hormone prevents neuronal death caused by exposure to the amyloid beta protein, a neurotoxin substance that accumulates in the brains of patients with the disorder. Melatonin Can Help with Sleeping, Memory, and More by Darrell Miller / Food/cooking/nutrition community In its changed form, elF2alpha increases the output of the enzyme that spurs production of the fiber-like knots of amyloid beta protein that form outside neurons and disrupt their ability to send messages.
