'Longevity gene' may protect the brain from Alzheimer's by boosting DNA repair, study finds
A new study suggests that a specific "longevity gene" may help protect the brain from the effects of aging, including Alzheimer’s disease.The APOE gene (short for apolipoprotein E) helps the body transport and metabolize fats and cholesterol, especially in the brain.While the APOE4 variant is known to be associated with a significantly higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease, the APOE2 variant of the APOE gene appears to carry a lower risk.ALZHEIMER’S PILL COULD REDUCE BRAIN DECLINE IN SOME HIGH-RISK...
