Alzheimer’s disease, being a chronic state progressive ND(neurodegenerative diseases), is characterised by abnormalities beta-amyloid and impaired cognitive functions resulting in dementia. Exosomes (Nano-particles) have developed as a promising mediators of NDs in which they carry toxic particles between cells and transfer them. Hence, current review focusesprimarily on the effects of exosomes in modulating mediators and promotingneuroprotection against NDs.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, and the aging of the population means that the number of cases is successively increasing. The cause of the disease has not been established, but it is suggested that many factors affect it, including nutritional aspects. As part of the work, the PubMed database has been searched, beginning from 2005, for terms related to key nutritional aspects. A diet rich in antioxidant vitamins can improve the cognitive functions of patients. Thanks to an adequate intake of B vitamins, homocysteine levels are reduced, which indirectly protects against the development of the disease. A properly balanced diet, as well as the use of appropriate supplementation, can contribute to improving the clinical condition of patients with AD.
