Bredesen’s 3 types of Alzheimers

A
  • Inflammation or ‘hot’: Associated with increased innate immune system activation, inflammation, pro-inflammatory microglia (M1) and reduced sirtuin (SIRT1) activity compared to NF kappa
  • Atrophic or ‘cold’: Loss of trophic support from neurotrophins such as brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).
    Cortical or ‘toxic’: Dr Bredesen considers this subtype to be associated with environmental toxins, leading to chronic inflammation and general brain atrophy.
