Alzheimer’s Disease and l-Deprenyl: Rationales and Findings

  • Chapter
Book cover Inhibitors of Monoamine Oxidase B

Part of the book series: Milestones in Drug Therapy ((MDT))

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to summarize the theoretical and empirical bases for the administration of l-deprenyl (selegiline) to persons suffering from probable Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Rationales exist for both short-term and long-term treatment: for the sake of clarity, these will be presented separately.
