COLUMBIA - A neuroscientist at the University of South
Carolina is doing research on an extract from licorice root
that could treat or even prevent the brain cell death found in
diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's... liquiritigenin...
"We're interested in a specific form of licorice which is only
found in the high mountains of China. This comes from,
actually discovered via traditional Chinese medicine recipe,
which have been used there for many thousands of years. We're
just now identifying what the active component is to some of
those Eastern treatments."
The LQ is a phytoestrogen, which is a compound that's found
naturally in plants and mimics the hormone estrogen... LQ may
also help improve memory.
"It's just amazing that plants make these compounds and we're
just now looking at some of these active components that have
been around for thousands of years. They're actually very,
very potent and we're very, very excited about the future for
degenerative disorders."
