Studies have found that cinnamon can prevent the progression of Parkinson's disease
Release date: 2014-07-14 Recently, neuroscientists at the Rush University Medical Center have discovered that the use of cinnamon, a common food flavor and flavoring, can reverse the biomechanical, cellular and anatomical changes that occur in the brains of Parkinson's disease (PD) mice. The findings were recently published in the June 20 issue of the Journal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology. For centuries, cinnamon has been widely used as a spice throughout the world, says researcher Professor Kalipada Pahan: therefore, this may be one of the safest ways to prevent disease progression in patients with Parkinson's disease. Cinnamon is metabolized in the liver to sodium benzoate, a drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of hepatic metabolic defects associated with hyperammonemia. Pahan says it is also widely used as a food preservative because of its microbicidal effect. . There are two main types of Chinese cinnamon (cinnamon) and Ceylon cinnamon (octagonal star anise), which are sold in the United States. By mass spectrometry, although both types of cinnamon are metabolized to sodium benzoate, we have seen that Ceylon cinnamon is purer (safer) than cinnabarin, which contains coumarin (a hepatotoxic molecule). Understanding the disease is important for developing effective drugs that protect the brain and stop PD progression. Some important proteins such as Parkin and DJ-1 are known to be reduced in the brains of patients with Parkinson's disease. Studies have found that after oral administration, cinnamon powder is metabolized to sodium benzoate, then enters the brain, stops the loss of Parkin and DJ-1, protects neurons, restores normal levels of neurotransmitters, and improves motor function in PD mice. Now, we need to translate this finding into a clinical trial to test cinnamon powder in PD patients. If these results are replicated in PD patients, this would be a significant advance in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
