The fact that taking Viagra helps to reduce the risk of developing senile dementia was reported by a group of neurophysiologists from America.. Details of the results of scientific work were shared by the journal Nature Aging.

Sildenafil is one of the main components of Viagra.. Thanks to this compound, many men manage to cope with potency problems.. The introduction of this component to patients with a high probability of developing Alzheimer's disease could reduce the risk of developing this pathology by almost 69% in patients of different age categories, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net “In the course of the study, we studied drugs that can disrupt the relationship between beta-amyloid and tau protein. These substances are known to be responsible for the development of Alzheimer's disease.. Sildenafil, which came to the attention of scientists, showed the highest efficiency among other compounds that can be used in the fight against this neurodegenerative disease,” said Associate Professor Cheng Feixiong, Cleveland Clinic.

In the course of the study, scientists were able to study the activity of genes and proteins that are most often subject to changes as a result of the development of senile dementia.. Thanks to sildenafil, cell factories were activated, utilizing unnecessary or defective proteins, thereby reducing their accumulation, which in turn reduces the likelihood of developing dementia.. Previously, another group of scientists reported on the beneficial properties of Viagra in patients with arrhythmia..
