A recent study shows that there might be a natural connection between high cholesterol and the development of Alzheimer’s. This is due to the generation and regulation of beta-amyloid protein (Aß), the main cause of this degenerative disease, depends on cholesterol.

The brain has 20 percent of the total sterol in the body. If the levels increase, the neurons would be the first to suffer and give way to degenerative diseases. And not only is the amount of these proteins, but its distribution in neurons are the main factors for increased risk of Alzheimer’s.

The main cause is the presence of a type of gene known as ApoE-e4 in brain cells. It is noteworthy that the presence of this protein alone is not cause of Alzheimer’s, but does increase the possibility that beta-amyloid protein increases its levels in the cerebral cortex.

Another study of Spanish scientists have associated these high levels of cholesterol in the development of mild cognitive impairment, a pre-neurological stage dementia and Alzheimer’s.

In these investigations it was found that people with high cholesterol levels, suffered even inherited form, are 10 times more prone to this disorder so the researchers recommend that when a family member is diagnosed with high amounts of this substance in the blood, others must also be assessed.
