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.
据《每日快报》报道,来自墨尔本大学的首席作者斯科特•艾顿博士说:“金属铁表面的生锈过程和大脑中发生的生锈反应是一样的。”
Although iron is important for energy, it can cause cellular stress and their subsequent death.
尽管铁对人体能量很重要,但它会引发细胞应激甚至使其死亡。
The researchers plan to conduct a five-year trial investigating whether an anti-iron drug could treat Alzheimer's.
研究人员计划开展一项为期5年的试验,调查抗铁药物能否治疗阿兹海默症。
Treatments that focus on altering amyloid levels have had limited success.
以改变淀粉样蛋白水平为主的治疗方法收效甚微。
Dr Ayton said: 'Given the data from our study, it seems reasonable to hypothesise that lowering iron in the brain would slow the progression of the disease, but we can only know that by testing it, which is what we are now going to do.'
艾顿博士说道:“我们的研究数据显示,降低大脑中的铁含量会使疾病进程减缓这一假设似乎是合理的,但我们必须通过测试才能确知,而这也是我们现在将要做的。”
