new remedies for Alzheimer's disease, pain relief, migraines and even epilepsy

More research done with the all important nitric oxide compound at the University of Leicester shows that it is not just essential for men to enable them to achieve good erections but in fact may also play an important part in regulating how the brain works when we think and hear.

Their research which was funded by the Medical Research Council could lead to potential new remedies for Alzheimer's disease, pain relief, migraines and even epilepsy. The importance of nitric oxide in good male sexual function is that it works as a communicator between different areas of the human body which are required for good erections. It is also known to scientists, that specific enzymes which help in the synthesis of nitric oxide are present and functioning in human brain cells.

This extremely complicated research will hopefully enable scientists to understand how different parts of the brain communicate with each other and lead to remedies which can treat degenerative mental conditions like Alzheimer's.

It may be that this research could come up with treatments which would regulate the function of nitric oxide in different parts of the body which could help those suffering from dementia. Ultimately it is hoped that a treatment which would probably be dubbed “Brain Viagra” can be developed from this research.

Rebecca Wood speaking on behalf of the Alzheimer's Research Trust explained that they would be very interested in knowing exactly how the nitric oxide compound functions in the human brain.

At Ukmedix News we believe that the active ingredient of the Viagra drug has far more applications than it is being put to use for. Research has been done showing how Viagra could prevent heart attacks and could be used to prevent circulation problems in areas other than the penile artery.

We will be looking for more information on this research from the University of Leicester as it is made public.
