Sniff. Sniff. Nasal Insulin Sprays Could Put Brakes On Alzheimer’s
Posted on May 26th, 2008 by MrElderCare
Came across an article about the efficacy of medication delivered via nasal sprays in the British newspaper “The Indepedent”. While following my nose on the subject, I learned about other studies specifically relating insulin to Alzheimer’s Disease and the investigation of using nasal sprays as a delivery system.
Very promising stuff.
Check out these stories:
- A 2006 report from the Mayo Clinic on the relationship between insulin and Alzheimer’s
- A May 26, 2008 New York Times article on how nasal delivery of insulin works
- A September, 2006 article at Medical News Today about some positive results at the Veterans Affairs (VA) Puget Sound Health Care System
- and, a notice at Clinical Trials.gov for a Study of Nasal Insulin to Fight Forgetfulness
