hey are considered one of the main causes of Alzheimer's.
The research team led by Grimm has now joined forces with scientists from Bonn, Finland and the Netherlands, to find out how the sterols that we take in through food influence the formation of these plaque proteins. It was found that one particular sterol stigmasterol - inhibits protein formation.
Stigmasterol acts on specific molecular processes, but it also reduces enzymatic activity, inhibiting the formation of Alzheimer's disease
