Chronic Rapamycin Restores Brain Vascular Integrity and Function Through NO Synthase Activation and Improves Memory in Symptomatic Mice Modeling Alzheimer’s Disease

This 2013 study investigated the effects of chronic rapamycin treatment in transgenic mice exhibiting Alzheimer’s-like symptoms. Administered after symptom onset, rapamycin significantly restored cerebral blood flow, increased vascular density, reduced amyloid plaque accumulation, and minimized microhemorrhages. These effects were mediated by activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), enhancing nitric

Cerebrovascular pattern improved by ozone autohemotherapy: an entropy-based study on multiple sclerosis patients

This study explored the effects of ozone autohemotherapy on cerebrovascular function in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, using entropy-based analysis to assess improvements in blood flow and vascular health. The treatment significantly enhanced cerebral blood flow and cerebrovascular patterns, suggesting its potential to mitigate neurovascular damage and improve neurological health in

Methylene blue as a cerebral metabolic and hemodynamic enhancer

This study explores the effects of methylene blue (MB) on brain metabolism and blood flow, highlighting its potential therapeutic role in neurological conditions. The administration of MB significantly increased mitochondrial complex activity, enhancing oxygen consumption and glucose uptake in brain cells. Animal models showed that MB also improved cerebral blood
