Vitamin B3 Helps Beat Back Alzheimer's Disease
(HealthScoutNews, 9 /25/02)

Surnan Mukherjee and fellow researchers at South Dakota's State University's College of Pharmacy cultured brain cells in a lab and then exposed them to a chemical that kills them in a way similar to Alzheimer's Disease. The scientists found that if they exposed the cells to Vitamin B3, nicotinamide, before introducing the toxin, the cells didn't deteriorate as rapidly.
