title: L-methylfolate, methylcobalamin, and N-acetylcysteine in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease-related cognitive decline.
abstract: Neuroinflammatory oxidative stress occurs early in AD pathology. Elevated blood Hcy is a useful marker for such neuroinflammation. Hcy contributes to pathological cascades involving AP and NFTs. In AD, Hcy should be lowered by B-vitamin supplements and NAC.
