Oil Protects Against Diseases Like Parkinson's - Science Daily, 4/19/09
- "Dr. Nicolas Bazan, Director of the Neuroscience
Center of Excellence, Boyd Professor, and Ernest C. and Yvette C. Villere
Chair of Retinal Degenerative Diseases Research at LSU Health Sciences
Center New Orleans, will present new research findings showing that an omega
three fatty acid in the diet protects brain cells by preventing the
misfolding of a protein resulting from a gene mutation in neurodegenerative
diseases like Parkinson's and Huntington's ... the omega three fatty acid,
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), protects cells from this defect ... Dr. Bazan's
laboratory discovered earlier that neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1), a
naturally-occurring molecule in the human brain that is derived from DHA
also promotes brain cell survival" - See

Gastrointestinal Drug Slows Aging, Researchers Say - Science Daily,
1/6/08 - "Recent animal studies have shown that
clioquinol – an 80-year old drug once used to treat diarrhea and other
gastrointestinal disorders – can reverse the progression of Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases ... clioquinol acts directly on a
protein called CLK-1, often informally called "clock-1," and might slow down
the aging process ... Because clock-1 affects longevity in invertebrates and
mice, and because we're talking about three age-dependent neurodegenerative
diseases, we hypothesize that clioquinol affects them by slowing down the
rate of aging ... clioquinol was withdrawn from the market after being
blamed for a devastating outbreak of subacute myelo-optic neuropathy (SMON)
in Japan in the 1960s. However, because no rigorous scientific study was
conducted at the time, and because clioquinol was used safely by millions
before and after the Japanese outbreak, some researchers think its
connection to SMON has yet to be proven" - I Googled clioquinol and I
don't think it's available anywhere.
