4032- VitB3,    Modulation of cGAS-STING Pathway by Nicotinamide Riboside in Alzheimer's Disease
- in-vivo, AD, NA
*DNAdam↓, reduces senescence of affected cells, attenuates DNA damage and neuroinflammation in the transgenic APP/PS1 murine model of AD.
*Inflam↓,
*other↓, Elevated cGAS-STING observed in the AD mouse brains and human AD fibroblasts was normalized by NR.
*cognitive↑, This intervention also increased mitophagy with improved cognition and behavior in the APP/PS1 mice
*Mood↑,

4329- VitB5,    Long-Term Pantethine Treatment Counteracts Pathologic Gene Dysregulation and Decreases Alzheimer's Disease Pathogenesis in a Transgenic Mouse Model
- in-vivo, AD, NA
*Aβ↓, We have previously shown that pantethine treatment reduces amyloid-β (Aβ)-induced IL-1β release and alleviates pathological metabolic changes in primary astrocyte cultures
*Mood↑, We observed that long-term pantethine treatment significantly reduced glial reactivity and Αβ deposition, and abrogated behavioral alteration in Tg mice.
*neuroP↑, Pantethine elicits broad physiological activities involving multiple cellular pathways. It has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects
*Inflam↓, but also to decrease inflammation and mediate immune responses
*TNF-α↓, We have previously shown that pantethine is able to protect mice against cerebral malaria by preserving blood–brain barrier integrity and by lowering TNF-α levels
*BBB↝, Cysteamine can cross the blood–brain barrier [110] and was shown to induce the release of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor)
*other↝, The present study demonstrated the efficiency of pantethine to reverse AD features such as astrogliosis, microgliosis, Aβ deposition, and to AD-associated aggressive behavior.
*Dose↝, Based on our results, pantethine, provided routinely as a dietary supplement, could be considered as a serious therapeutic option for preventing, slowing, or halting AD progression.

4086- VitD3,    The beneficial role of vitamin D in Alzheimer's disease
- Review, AD, NA
*Mood↑, Patients with AD have a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, which is also associated with low mood and impaired cognitive performance in older people.
*cognitive↑,
*eff↑, Calcitriol, 1αα,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, is best used for AD because of its active form of vitamin D3 metabolite and its receptor in the central nervous system.

4350- VitD3,    Vitamin D: Evidence-Based Health Benefits and Recommendations for Population Guidelines
- Review, Var, NA - Review, AD, NA
Risk↓, evidence that vitamin D can reduce the risk of cancer incidence and mortality rates is robust.
angioG↓, Vitamin D reduces angiogenesis around tumors, which is required to deliver nutrients to the tumors
TumMeta↓, and it reduces metastasis into the surrounding stromal tissue, which is generally required for mortality.
AntiCan↑, 9 of the 54 patients in the p53-immunoreactive group treated with vitamin D had a relapse or death during 5 years of follow-up, compared to 14 of 26 in the placebo group
*cognitive↑, Adequate 25(OH)D concentrations are associated with improved cognitive function [105,106] and mood stability [107], particularly in vulnerable populations.
*Mood↑, Vitamin D supplementation has shown promise in enhancing mood and reducing depressive symptoms, with studies indicating improved clinical outcomes in patients receiving vitamin D alongside antidepressants

4166- Z,    Zinc monotherapy increases serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and decreases depressive symptoms in overweight or obese subjects: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial
- Trial, Obesity, NA
*BDNF↑, significant positive correlation was found between serum BDNF and zinc levels at baseline.
*Mood↑, Zinc monotherapy improves mood in overweight or obese subjects most likely through increasing BDNF levels.
