U-WIRE via NewsEdge Corporation : MINNEAPOLIS -- Researchers at the University of Minnesota will receive $8.1 million to study the effects of vitamin E on people suffering from mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
"Our population is aging, and increased age is one of the major risk factors for developing Alzheimer's disease," said Maurice Dysken, the Veterans Affairs Medical Center Geriatric Research, Education & Clinical Center director and University psychiatry professor.
Alzheimer's disease is a brain disorder that gradually destroys a person's memory and ability to learn, reason and make judgments.
