Gas used for anesthesia shows promise in Alzheimer's treatment: Study
India TodayA study has found a novel treatment approach against Alzheimer's disease. Researchers from Mass General Brigham and Washington University School of Medicine conducted experiments in mice and found that Xenon gas inhalation suppressed neuro-inflammation, reduced brain atrophy and increased protective neural states. They researchers that its "exciting" how Xenon gas had "protective effects" on different models of Alzheimer's disease tested in the lab. In the study, mouse models of Alzheimer's were treated with Xenon gas, used as anesthesia and a neuroprotectant for treating brain injuries. While further studies are needed, the researchers said that their findings hold promise that Xenon inhalation can be used as a therapeutic approach to reduce the brain ageing effects of Alzheimer's disease.
