Alzheimer’s may be reversible if levels of a molecule known as NAD+ can be regulated in the brain, according to a researcher who helped test the approach in mice.

In a study published last month, scientists said they were able to use pharmacology to reverse advanced Alzheimer’s in mice that had been genetically programmed to develop the disease.

Researchers said they achieved this by stabilizing the levels of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) — an energy-producing chemical that is low in human Alzheimer’s patients — within the brains of lab animals.
