Hokkaido University researchers have found that oral administration of plant (konjac-derived) ceramide attenuates amyloid pathologies including amyloid deposition and cognitive failures in Alzheimer’s disease model mice. Their findings, published in Scientific Reports, highlighted plant ceramide as a novel candidate for developing preventive medicine and functional food material against Alzheimer’s disease.
