Spinach may cause Alzheimer's disease in at-risk people, research suggests.
研究表明,菠菜也许会使高危人群患上阿兹海默症(老年痴呆症)。
The salad leaf's iron-rich content may damage the brain similar to how the compound causes metal to rust, according to the researchers.
研究人员指出,沙拉菜叶中富含铁的部分也许会损害大脑,原理类似于化合物使金属生锈。
People with high levels of iron alongside the protein amyloid, which has previously been associated with Alzheimer's, are more likely to experience rapid cognitive decline, a study found.
先前的研究显示,淀粉样蛋白与阿兹海默症有关。这项研究发现,体内铁和淀粉样蛋白含量高的人,更容易发生认知能力的迅速衰退。
Those with high amyloid but low iron levels are less at-risk of the disease, the research adds.
研究还表示,体内淀粉样蛋白含量高但铁含量低的人们,患阿兹海默症的风险相对较小。
Removing such 'rust' from the brain could prevent or delay the degenerative condition, the researchers add.
研究人员补充道,将“铁锈”从大脑中移除可以预防或延缓退化性疾病的发生。
Rusting in the brain
脑中生锈
Lead author Dr Scott Ayton from the University of Melbourne, said: 'The rusting you see on iron metal is the same rusting reaction that occurs in the brain,' The Express reported.
