Named a unique property of aspirin

The sensational statement was made by scientists from Johns Hopkins University.

It turns out that regular aspirin is able to resist Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

The mechanism of action associated with the action of a specific enzyme GAPDH. Initially it was assumed that the enzyme is only involved in glucose metabolism, but recent studies have shown that the enzyme also participates in transmitting signals within cells. 21_result

The experiments revealed that GAPDH is a target for salicylates salts, which are formed during the breakup of aspirin (salicylic acid).

This interaction of salicylates and the enzyme GAPDH is not yet clear how, but it certainly prevents the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists believe that soon will be able to thoroughly understand the mechanism of the phenomenon and this will give you the keys to the treatment of a large number of diseases.
