The present study concluded that B-vita-
min treatment could lower mean plasma
tHcy levels by 29%.
Smith said: "This makes the need for early
screening for the first signs of cognitive
decline from the age of 50…vitally impor-
tant, backed up by homocysteine testing and
potential B vitamin treatment.
“Our study shows that those with a homo-
cysteine level above 10mcmol/l, which is
about half of all people over age 65, poten-
tially may benefit with reduced brain shrink-
age by taking high dose B6, B12 and folic
acid, but this should be done under medical
supervision.”

Green tea EGCG may help prevent
plaque formation in Alzheimer's dis-
ease
The last study we will discuss in this article
is also promising. It appears that extracts
from green tea may block the formation of
beta-amyloid plaques that have been linked
to the onset of Alzheimer's disease and other
neurodegenerative conditions, according to
new laboratory data.
The study, published in the Proceedings of
the National Academy of Sciences, reports
that green tea extract, and in particular the
powerful polyphenol epigallocatechin-3-gal-
late (EGCG) prevented the formation of
potentially dangerous beta-amyloid aggre-
gates and broke down existing aggregate
structures in proteins that contained metals -
specifically copper, iron and zinc.
The aggregation of these proteins, called
metal-associated amyloids, is associated with
Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegener-
ative conditions, explained the research team
behind the study.
"A lot of people are very excited about this
molecule," said Dr Mi Hee Lim from the
University of Michigan, USA - who noted
that EGCG and other flavonoids in natural
products have long been established as pow-
erful antioxidants.
Facts About Green Tea
The majority of science on tea has looked
at green tea, with benefits reported for
reducing the risk of Alzheimer's and certain
cancers, improving cardiovascular and oral
health, as well as aiding in weight manage-
ment.
Green tea contains between 30 and 40%
of water-extractable polyphenols, while black
tea (green tea that has been oxidized by fer-
mentation) contains between 3 and 10%.
Oolong tea is semi-fermented tea and is
somewhere between green and black tea.
The four primary polyphenols found in fresh
tealeaves are epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG),
epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate, and
epicatechin.
Limited perspective
However, Lim explained that while many
researchers are investigating small molecules
such as EGCG and their effect on metal-asso-
ciated amyloid plaques, most of them are
looking from a limited perspective.
"We used a multidisciplinary approach,"
said Lim, who led the new study.
"This is the first example of structure-cen-
tric, multidisciplinary investigations by three
principal investigators with three different
areas of expertise," she explained, noting that
the research team behind the work included
chemists, biochemists and biophysicists.
"We believe you have to have a lot of
approaches working together, because the
brain is very complex," she said, explaining
that the current PNAS findings are a starting
point.
Lim said her team's next step is to try and
'tweak' EGCG and then test its ability to inter-
fere with plaque formation in fruit flies.
"We want to modify them for the brain,
specifically to interfere with the plaques asso-
ciated with Alzheimer's," she said.

Are you minding your PQQ’s?
Maybe you should be!
PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) is an
exciting “new” micronutrient that you will be
hearing a lot about in the future. Similar to
CoQ10, PQQ affects mitochondrial function.
The mitochondria are the parts of cell that
generate energy. They are often called the
“cellular power plants.” They are involved in
other critical cellular functions as well,
including cell growth. Recent interest has
focused on energy, cardiac function, aging,
longevity and mental health.
While it might seem as if PQQ is similar to
CoQ10, there is a difference. Both are pow-
erful antioxidants, and both affect the mito-
chondria, but they do it in different ways.
CoQ10 enhances mitochondrial function,
bioenergetically, within the mitochondrial
membrane, while PQQ actually stimulates
the formation of new mitochondria.
Energy-intensive organs like the heart and
brain are heavily dependent on mitochondri-
al support. They have a very high concentra-
tion of mitochondrial “power plants.” PQQ is
one of the few tools available to us that can
support the formation and health of new
mitochondria for these crucial organs.
Indeed, a growing body of research indi-
cates that PQQ’s unique nutritional profile
supports heart health and cognitive func-
tion—alone and in combination with
