Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>This neurodegenerative disease most often affects an individual\u2019s memory but other symptoms can include problems with language and disorientation, mood swings, as well as self-neglect. There are thought to be more than 50 million sufferers around the world, most aged over 65.<\/p>\n

For decades, scientists have been trying to find a way to slow the formation of abnormal deposits of protein in the brain in order to stop Alzheimer\u2019s disease. But a recent study by researchers in King\u2019s College London suggests that it is the gut and not the brain that scientists need to focus on.<\/p>\n

The study examined gut microbiomes of the patients suffering from the disease. Researchers say the tests showed that people with Alzheimer\u2019s had a distinct microbiome as well as more inflammation markers. The latter detail, the scientists emphasised, was extremely important.<\/p>\n

In the follow-up tests, scientists treated rats’ brain stem cells with blood from Alzheimer\u2019s patients and found that the rodents were less able to grow nerve cells. In yet another test, researchers transplanted stool samples from people both with and without the disease to rats.<\/p>\n

“We found that rats with gut bacteria from people with Alzheimer’s performed worse in memory tests,” said Yvonne Nolan, another neuroscientist from King’s College London.<\/p>\n

Scientists say further studies are needed to build on their findings, but they suspect that Alzheimer\u2019s could be caused by abnormalities in the gastrointestinal tract.<\/p>\n

Alzheimer\u2019s has already become one of the leading causes of death for adults aged 65. More than 40 million around the world live with the disease now and this number is expected to rise significantly in the coming decades as life expectancy increases. Doctors say that leading a healthy life helps to prevent one getting Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n
