Could a chicory compound reduce Alzheimer's-related memory loss? Memory loss is a key characteristic of Alzheimer's disease, which is a condition that affects more than 5.4 million people in the United States. In a new study, researchers report that a compound called chicoric acid, naturally present in chicory, may be effective in reducing Alzheimer's-related memory loss. Researchers suggest that a compound found in chicory has the potential to reduce memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease. The study, recently published in The FASEB Journal , reveals that mice treated with chicoric acid displayed better memory in behavioral tests than rodents that did not receive the compound. While further research is needed, study co-author Xuebo Liu, Ph.D., of the College of Food Science and Engineering at Northwest A&F University in China, and colleagues say that it is possible for chicoric acid to help maintain memory in patients with Alzheimer's and other ne...
