Memoria e Acido Ialuronico: 

risponde alle nostre domande il dottor Alexander Dityatev.

Nel consiglio del mese di 24 luglio 2010 intitolato, Memoria e Acido Ialuronico, abbiamo scritto come potenziare la memoria a tutte le età. E abbiamo chiesto una spiegazione a uno studioso di questo argomento, il dottor Alexander Dityatev, che da sempre cerca il farmaco perfetto per questo scopo.

Sotto potete leggere la nostra e-mail al dottore e la sua risposta diretta.

Dear Professor Alexander Dityatev,

Recently, I read your article about Hyaluronic Acid and Sinaptic Neuron Plasticity. I can personally confirm that in the pharmacy where I work, one of the more frequent client requests (young, middle-age and old) is for a product to help reinforce and energize memory. Because this seems to be of great importance to many, I have written about it on my website (www.farmacistarisponde.com). At the same time, I am curious if you offer could offer my readers and me some clarification about this subject and if a product already exists that a person can use? Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon with a response to my questions.

Sincerely,

Dear Luisa,
Thank you for your interest. It is very important for us to know that our work is read and discussed by public.

Regarding your requests:
Usually, there are many years of research between a publication of a new mechanism and production of a drug targeting it. So, I can not promise we can help to people right now.

Additional obstacle is that too low concentration of hyaluronic acid may be bad (Ca2+ channels are not working) but also too high concentration of hyaluronic acid can be "bad", for instance since hyperactive Ca2+ channels can inhibit neurons via Ca2+ sensitive K+ channels. I believe that there is an optimal range of hyaluronic acid in the brain to support cognitive functions, but we would need to work further to understand how to maintain this range.
