Acetyl-l-carnitine as a possible therapy for Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract:

:Alterations have been demonstrated in membrane phospholipid metabolism in Alzheimer's disease. Alterations in membrane phospholipid metabolite levels have been observed by 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy 4 years before onset of cognitive changes. Implications of phospholipid membrane changes in Alzheimer's disease are presented. Augmentation of brain levels of acetyl-l-carnitine, an endogenous molecule, may help to reverse membrane phospholipid changes in Alzheimer's disease. Neurobiological effects of acetyl-l-carnitine and potential molecular mechanisms of acetyl-l-carnitine activity are reviewed. Clinical trials of acetyl-l-carnitine indicate that it is well-tolerated and may be effective in younger Alzheimer's disease patients and may be an effective adjuvant treatment. Acetyl-l-carnitine may especially benefit those Alzheimer's disease patients with depressive disorders.

  • Post-stroke pain.

    abstract::Pain is one of the most troublesome sequelae of stroke, occurring in 19-74% of patients. A portion of this post-stroke pain is caused by the brain lesion itself; this is called 'central post-stroke pain' (CPSP). Although the prevalence of CPSP among stroke patients is low (1-8%), the persistent, often treatment-refrac...
