A group of researchers have discovered that increased testosterone levels counter the developement of alzheimer’s and improves memory of the subjects. According to their studies , toxic brain proteins that are linked to the developement of alzheimers were lowered after boosting testosterone in the patients.

Results from a clinical trial of west australian men , presented at the royal society of medicine in london show that testosterone cream lowers the protein beta amyloid and , it also seemed to improve memory.

Professor Ralph Martins, of the Sir James McCusker Foundation for Alzheimer’s Research at Hollywood Private Hospital, said from London that he was excited by early results from an ongoing trial of healthy men aged 50 to 72 who had a testosterone deficiency and only mild signs of memory loss.

“In the past we’ve shown an association, so when you lower testosterone, you raise beta amyloid levels, and we’ve also shown an association with people at higher risk of getting Alzheimer’s, but we wanted to see what happens in the brain,” he said.
