Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation effects on weight and appetite in patients with Alzheimer’s disease: the omega-3 Alzheimer’s disease study

Objectives: To study the effects of omega (Omega)-3 fatty acid (FA) supplements on weight and appetite in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in relation to inflammatory biomarkers and apolipoprotein E epsilon4 (APOEepsilon4).; Design: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.; Setting: Specialist memory clinics in the Stockholm catchment area.; Participants: Two hundred four patients (aged […]

Galantamine versus risperidone treatment of neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with probable dementia: an open randomized trial

Objective: To examine the effects of galantamine and risperidone on neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia (NPSD) and global function.; Methods: Using a randomized, controlled and open-blind, one-center trial at an in- and outpatient clinic at a university hospital, we studied 100 adults with probable dementia and NPSD. Participants received galantamine (N = 50, target dose 24 mg) […]

Effects on transthyretin in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid by DHA-rich n – 3 fatty acid supplementation in patients with Alzheimer’s disease: the OmegAD study

Transthyretin (TTR) binds amyloid-β (Aβ) and may reduce brain Aβ, a pathological feature in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). N – 3 fatty acids (FA), docosahexaenoic (DHA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) may increase TTR transcription in rat hippocampus. We studied effects of n – 3 FA supplementation on TTR-levels in patients with AD. Outpatients were randomized to […]

Pharmacodynamics of cholinesterase inhibitors suggests add-on therapy with a low-dose carbamylating inhibitor in patients on long-term treatment with rapidly reversible inhibitors

Despite three decades of intensive research in the field of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and numerous clinical trials of new therapeutic agents, cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) are still the mainstay of therapeutics for AD and dementia with Lewy bodies. Pharmacodynamic analyses of ChEIs provide paradoxical observations. Treatment with the rapidly reversible, noncarbamylating ChEIs (donepezil, galantamine, and tacrine) […]
