(Preview) Most common diseases of 50 plus - Diseases of Central Nervous system - Free radical causes of dementia (Lou Gehrig's disease(Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis))

About 5-8% of all people over the age of 65 have some form of dementia, and this number doubles every five years above that age. Dementia is the loss of mental ability, severe enough to interfere with people's every life and Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia in aging people.
II. Causes of dementia
B. Free radical causes of dementia
B.4. Lou Gehrig's disease(Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
1. Free radicals and Lou Gehrig's disease
Researchers found that glutamate in the synapses enhances the production of free radicals(77) only in motor nerve cells but spares other nerve cells(74) such as cells control senses and other body functions, causing more production of free radicals in disrupting of astrocytes in regulated glutamate levels(76).

2. Antioxidants and Lou Gehrig's disease
a. Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin)
High doses of vitamin B12 as an antioxidant have shown to improve or slow muscle wasting in the later stages of patients with ALS disease(78)(79).

b. Vitamin E
Vitamin E protects against cell membranes from lipid peroxidation damage(80) in reduced the risk of breakdown of the cell membrane cause of ALS(81).

c. Superoxide dismutase enzyme
Mutations in the superoxide dismutase enzyme can increase the risk ALS(82) in catalyzing the dismutation of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide(83).

d. Cerebral cortex
Oxidative stress and DNA alternation triggered neurons damage(84) were found in elevating levels in mice with ALS(85).

e. Amino acids
Diet high in amino acids as antioxidants have shown some promising effect in treating ALS(86)(87).

Premenstrual syndrome effects over 70% to 90% of women before menopause in the US and less for women in Southeast Asia because of their difference in living style and social structure. It is defined as faulty function of the ovaries related to the women's menstrual cycle, it effects a women's physical and emotional state, and sometimes interferes with daily activities as a result of hormone fluctuation. The syndrome occurs one to two weeks before menstruation and then declines when the period start.

Migraine headache are the most common symptoms of PMS(2), effected about 30%(1) of women just before or on the days of period. While headache does not accompany with symptoms, migraine usually followed by series of symptoms(3)(4), such as menstrual cramp and pain(4), bloating, fatigue, and irritability(3).

1. Serotonin
Serotonin secreted by the pituitary gland(5) when we come to stress(6) and during migraine attack effects the blood vessels in the brain(6), cause of irritation to the nervous system, such as affective, cognitive, and behavioural symptoms(6) and migraine headache(7)(8) last for hours(8).

2. Allergic reaction
For what whatever reasons, some women with pre menstrual syndrome may be sensitive to food such as fat, carbohydrate (P < 0.05) and simple sugars, etc. probably due to cyclical hormonal or neurotransmitter fluctuations(14). just before period cause of migraine headache(15).

3. Hormone imbalance
Levels of serotonin also showed to effect the production of reproductive hormones. Imbalance high levels of estrogen and low levels of progesterone, may cause a wide range of psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, along with other conditions such as obesity and migraine(10).

4. Medication
Some medication including psychostimulant drugs of abuse(9) and medication over uses(10) such as bromocriptine used to reduce levels of prolactin(11) for women with breast pain(12) before period may cause headache and migraine(13).

5. Magnesium deficiency
Magnesium deficiency is found to be associated to patients with migraine headache(16).
Magnesium regulates the levels of blood sugar(17)(18), and stops the blood vessels spam, during migraine attack(19).

(Preview) Most common diseases of 50 plus - Diseases of Central Nervous system - Free radical causes of dementia (Multiple Sclerosis, MS)

About 5-8% of all people over the age of 65 have some form of dementia, and this number doubles every five years above that age. Dementia is the loss of mental ability, severe enough to interfere with people's every life and Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia in aging people.
II. Causes of dementia
B. Free radical causes of dementia
B.3. Multiple Sclerosis
1. Free radicals and Multiple Sclerosis
Free radical activity is a contributory factors in MS(60) due to proinflammatory cytokines in free radicals production in the peripheral immune system and the central nervous system (CNS)(60).

2. Antioxidants and Multiple sclerosis
Antioxidants protect the neural tissues from damage against inflammation caused by oxidative stress.
a. TNFalpha
TNFalpha, an imflammatory cytokine showed to associate with MS inhibited by antioxidants(61)) of green tea(62), and curcumin(63).

b. Melatonin
Melatonin functions as an antioxidant has the ability to protect neurons(65)(66) from free radicals cause of lipid peroxidation(64).

c Selenium
Some studies found that the level of selenium in the blood of people with MS was lower than in that of people without MS(67)(68). In patients with MS, all abnormalities may be normalized by daily intake of selenium(69),

d. Niacin
Niacin acting as antioxidant is a key to the successful treatment of multiple sclerosis,
. It profoundly prevents the degeneration(70) of demyelinated axons and improves the behavioral deficits(71).

e. Vitamin D
Seurm of 25(OH)D level showed to regulate expression dynamics of a large gene-gene interaction system in immune modulatory processes of MS activity(72). According to the study published by the journal Neurology, group receiving vitamin D supplement demonstrated a remarkable 41 percent reduction in new MS events with no meaningful side effects(73).
