aspartic acid and Dementia, Vascular

aspartic acid has been researched along with Dementia, Vascular in 19 studies

Aspartic Acid: One of the non-essential amino acids commonly occurring in the L-form. It is found in animals and plants, especially in sugar cane and sugar beets. It may be a neurotransmitter.
aspartic acid : An alpha-amino acid that consists of succinic acid bearing a single alpha-amino substituent
L-aspartic acid : The L-enantiomer of aspartic acid.

Dementia, Vascular: An imprecise term referring to dementia associated with CEREBROVASCULAR DISORDERS, including CEREBRAL INFARCTION (single or multiple), and conditions associated with chronic BRAIN ISCHEMIA. Diffuse, cortical, and subcortical subtypes have been described. (From Gerontol Geriatr 1998 Feb;31(1):36-44)

Trial Outcomes

Changes in the Metabolite Ratios of N-acetylaspartate (NAA) to Creatine (Cr), Myo-inositol (mI) to Cr, Choline (Cho) to Cr, NAA to Cho, and NAA to mI, on Cholinesterase Monotherapy vs Combination of Memantine and Cholinesterase Inhibitor

Ratios of myo-inositol (mI), N-acetylaspartate (NAA), total creatine (Cr), and choline (Cho) by single voxel 1H MRS (proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy). Mean (± SD) metabolite levels (normalized to T2-corrected water signal intensity) and metabolite ratios for Alzheimer's disease subjects at baseline (t0), after 24 weeks of ongoing monotherapy with stable-dose cholinesterase inhibitor (t1), and after another 24 weeks of combination therapy with memantine in addition to stable-dose cholinesterase inhibitor (t2). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to examine whether the change between t0 and t1 differed from the change between t1 and t2 [(t2 - t1) - (t1 - t0)]. (NCT00551161)
Timeframe: Baseline, 24 weeks, and 48 weeks
