How can iron levels around the brain contribute to Alzheimer's Disease
Iron Deficiency and Haemochromatosis (iron loss and excessive iron gain)
Disrupts neurophysiological mechanisms
Cognitive Development
Poor attention and memory
Impairs motor sequencing
How do the levels change?
Lack of or excess of iron in diet
Genetic Inheirtance
Roles around the brain?
Oxygen Transportation
DNA Synthesis
Mitochondrial Respiration
Meylin Synthesis
Neurotransmitter Metabolism
Iron impairs the cognitive function of the brain in many ways
Neurodegenerative diseases
Implicates in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's
Excess iron can cause oxidative stress which damages the brain and makes it sensitive to damage
Alzheimer's can be a consequence
