These mice showed chemical changes in their brains,indicating an abnormal build-up of the protein tau as well as signs that cholesterol in food reduced levels of another protein called Arc involved in memory storage,Akterin said.
“All in all,the results give some indication of how Alzheimer's can be prevented,but more research in this field needs to be done before proper advice can be passed on to the general public,” she said.
