Thank you for your advice. Best regards, G. Michael Lemole, Jr., M.D. Chief, Division of Neurosurgery University of Arizona 1501 N Campbell Avenue, Room 4310 tel: (520)626-2164 fax: (520)626-8313 email: mlem...@surgery.arizona.edu PO Box 245070 Tucson, Arizona, 85724-5070 From:Yifu Xero [mailto:yifux...@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, January 14, 2011 12:23 PM To: Michael Lemole Subject: PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) protection from brain damage Dear Dr. Lemole: This substance may be helpful in cases of brain damage. Article in Life Extension, Feb 2011, states "...an essential coenzyme called pyrroloquinoline quinone or PQQ has been shown to induce mitochondrial biogenesis - the growth of new mitochondria in aging cells. Numerous research articles are cited, including a team at UCLA. Sincerely, PS: (I don't market products and have no connection to any Co. marketing this); but fyi, PQQ is available from Life Extension. Subject:PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) protection from brain damage Life Extension article at http://www.tinyurl.com/4sox9t2 "PQQ protects brain cells against damage following ischemia-reperfusion injury—the inflammation and oxidative damage that result from the sudden return of blood and nutrients tissues deprived of them by stroke.45 Given immediately before induction of stroke in animal models, PQQ significantly reduces the size of the damaged brain area.46 This finding implies that if a person were to suffer a temporary loss of cerebral blood flow due to cardiac arrest, stroke, or trauma, that having PQQ in their body would afford considerable protection against permanent brain damage."
