Descrizione
Mechanisms by which vitamin E may protect against cognitive decline during aging and in Alzheimer's disease are illustrated. As the brain is highly susceptible to oxidative stress, vitamin E's antioxidant properties are hypothesized to reduce free radical-mediated neuronal damage associated with neurodegeneration.
