Vitamin D, omega-3 may help prevent Alzheimer's disease - UPI.com

Vitamin D, omega-3 may help prevent Alzheimer's disease - UPI.com: Study author Dr. Milan Fiala, at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, and colleagues identified key genes and signaling networks regulated by vitamin D3 and the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid that may help control inflammation and improve plaque clearance.

Previous laboratory work by the team helped clarify key mechanisms involved in helping vitamin D3 clear amyloid-beta, the abnormal protein found in the plaque.
