Carnosine


Thanks Newport! Hulda says to quit eating off of stainless steel utensils.

I can't wear any kind of ring.

Wonder about IP6 with nickel?

And more on copper, again.

>>>The high levels of carnosine in the brain may serve as natural protection against excitotoxicity, copper and zinc toxicity, protein cross-linking and glycation, and especially oxidation of cell membranes. Animal studies show broad protective effects in simulated stroke.

New research shows that copper and zinc dramatically stimulate senile plaque formation in Alzheimer's disease. Chelators of these metals dissolve plaques in the laboratory. Carnosine can also inhibit the cross-linking of amyloid-beta that leads to plaque formation. A signature of Alzheimer's disease is impairment of brain microvasculature. Carnosine protected the cells that line brain blood vessels (endothelial cells) from damage by amyloid-beta (senile plaque material) as well as by products of lipid oxidation and alcohol metabolism in laboratory experiments.


Life Extensions also mentioned Turmeric with copper/iron brain toxicity.

>>For example, by binding iron and copper in brain tissue, curcumin reduces NFkB activation.

New studies have tied inflammation to overexpression of a protein molecule called nuclear factor-kappa beta (NFkB). NFkB acts like a switch to turn on genes that produce the body's inflammatory responses. Because NFkB's expression increases in aging adults, scientists have sought ways to modulate NFkB and its effects in the body.

Curcumin has been shown to exert powerful effects within the body,109,110 Curcumin inhibits overexpression of NFkB and acts on substances that activate NFkB.>>>
