Lithium Inhibits Enzyme Involved in Alzheimer's

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Lithium, a manic depression drug first used in the 1960s, blocks an Alzheimer's disease-related enzyme in the brains of mice, according to new research.The findings could lead to more effective treatments for Alzheimer's patients, investigators say.
Also, researchers will try to find more specific drugs that target GSK-3. Lithium inhibits two forms of GSK-3 present in the human body -- alpha and beta. Only alpha is involved in Alzheimer's-related plaques, Klein said.
ANyone remember another drug that worked to reduce the alzheimers related plaques. Was it selegiline?Any supps out there that can do the same?? hehe
