丹尼尔·蒙蒂博士刚刚公布了帕金森病治疗领域一项可能具有重大突破性的发现。

其实比你想象的要简单得多。

他刚刚发表了关于一种名为 N-乙酰半胱氨酸（简称“NAC”）的分子的第三项研究。

“这是一种强效抗氧化剂。”

“它实际上可以保护肝脏。”

“我们知道它有很多不同的作用，但对我们来说重要的是，它是谷胱甘肽的前体。”

“谷胱甘肽能在大脑受损或氧化应激时保护大脑，但随着年龄增长，我们会逐渐失去这种物质。”

“而当我们生病时，我们会失去更多。”

“因此，我们希望找到一种方法来有效地增加大脑中的谷胱甘肽含量，尤其是在患有帕金森病等神经退行性疾病时。”

“我们早期就假设，输注 N-乙酰半胱氨酸可以增加谷胱甘肽，并实际上对帕金森病产生积极影响。”

“我们已经发表了三项相关研究，每项研究都使用了脑部扫描图像。”

“我们发现，N-乙酰半胱氨酸可以提高大脑中多巴胺的效率，而多巴胺是一种神经递质或化学物质，在帕金森病中会丢失，并导致所有这些症状。”

“我们最新的研究表明，它可以改善大脑内部的连接方式，或者说大脑内部的功能连接。”

“要参加这项研究，你在一段时间内不能改变你的帕金森病药物。”

“无论是对照组还是 NAC 组，患者都在服用帕金森病药物，但如果服用 NAC，他们的病情会好转。”

“他们的大脑以一种前所未有的方式活跃了起来。”

Dr. Daniel Monti just revealed a potentially massive breakthrough in Parkinson’s disease treatment.

And it’s much simpler than you think.

He just published his third study on a molecule called N-acetylcysteine, or “NAC for short.”

“This is a powerful antioxidant.”

“It actually protects the liver.”

“We know that it does a lot of different things, but the important thing for us is that it’s a precursor to something called glutathione.”

“Glutathione protects the brain when there’s damage or oxidative stress and we lose it as we age.”

“And when we get sick, we lose it even more.”

“So we want to have a way to efficiently increase glutathione in the brain, particularly when we have a neurodegenerative disorder such as Parkinson’s disease.”

“We hypothesized early on that giving infused N-acetylcysteine would increase glutathione and actually have a positive impact on Parkinson’s disease.”

“We’ve published three studies on this and we look at brain scans in all of them.”

“And what we’ve seen is that the N-acetylcysteine increases the efficiency of dopamine in the brain, which is the neurotransmitter or chemical that gets lost in Parkinson’s disease and causes all of those symptoms.”

“Our most recent study shows that it improves the way the brain connects to itself or talks to itself the functional connectivity in the brain.”

“To be in the study, you couldn’t have changes in your Parkinson's medications for a period of time.”

“In both the control group and in the NAC group, people were on their Parkinson’s medications, but if they got the NAC, they did better.”

“Their brain came alive in a way that wasn’t happening before.” @JanJekielek http://t.cn/AXcKT0Ah
