  1. The Effect of Ginkgo BilobaAmyloid, Freeze Dried Black Raspberries and Freeze Dried Blueberries on the supression of Amaloid B Proteinin C. elegans Roger Coleman

  2. Need • Alzheimer’s disease costs patients, Medicare or other types of insurance agency's up to $148 billion dollars a year and for patients 65 and older it will triple healthcare costs. In America alone 5.3 million people live with Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's is also the seventh leading cause of death.

  3. Need Chart 1 shows statistics and future predictions of Alzheimer's disease http://www.alzalliance.org/images/Forcast%20of%20Alzheimer%27s%20disease%20chart.gif

  4. Knowledge Base • Figure 1 shows C.elegans http://shirleywho.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/c-elegans_esa.jpg

  5. Knowledge Base Figure 2 shows the lifecycle of c. elegans

  6. Knowledge Base Picture 3 shoes a cross reference of a normal brain and a Alzheimer‘s infected brain. http://www.realage.com/health_guides/Alzheimer/img%5CLivingWithAlzheimers_artv2.jpg

  7. Knowledge Base Figure 4shows an amyloid b protein http://64.202.120.86/upload/image/news/getting-out-of-the-loop-of-alzheimer-s-disease/amyloid-protein-loop.jpg

  8. Knowledge Base Chart 2 shows amaloid b protein product

  9. Knowledge Base This picture shows other foods similar to Ginkgo Biloba that contain flavonoids. http://www.cyberline.com/juice/berrybg.JPG

  10. Literature Review • (Wu et, al, 2006) This shows the difference between a untreated amaloid b compared to a Egb-fed

  11. Literature Review • Ginko Biloba is well known for supporting brain function. (Colman 2001) • Journal of the American Medical Association found that 120 mg of ginko can improve brain function. http://www.made-in-china.com/image/2f0j00DedaEMtgOzqoM/Ginkgo-Biloba-Leaf-Extract-CP2005-24-6-HPLC-.jpg

  12. Literature Review • (Ercoli, 2006 et al) found that significant improvement was shown by verbal and memory impaired patients using the ginko berry leaf Figure 5 shows the plant of Ginkgo biloba http://www.herbalextractok.com/HerbalExtract/Ginkgo_Biloba_extract.jpg

  13. Purpose To determine if ginkgo biloba amyloid, freeze dried black raspberries and freeze dried blueberries has an effect on Alzheimer dieses in C. elegans. Hypothesis Null hypothesis is that no effect will occur when ginkgo biloba amyloid, freeze dried black raspberries and freeze dried blueberries ware added. The Alternative hypothesis is that ginkgo biloba amyloid, freeze dried black raspberries and freeze dried blueberries

  14. Methodology The Effect of Ginkgo Biloba Amyloid, Freeze Dried Black Raspberries and Freeze Dried Blueberries on the suppression of Amaloid B in C. elegans C. Elegnas with amaloid b and ginkgo biblia solution (Experimental) C. Elegans (CL2006) strainf and given a 10 % solution of Ginkgo Biloba N=? C. Elegans ( CL2006 strain) will be given a 10% solution of Freeze dried Black raspberries N=? C. Elegans (CL2006 strain) will be given a 10 % solution of Freeze Dried Blueberries N= ? C. Elegnas ( Cl 2006 strain with no solutions N= ? (Control) C. Elegans will be fed with 100 ul spots of e. coli (OP5O) on nematode growth medium and c. elegans will be cultured a 20 degrees C Results will be taken from visual analysis of C. elegans under a microscope.

  15. Protocols for Measurement • Grown on NGM and C. elegans (control and CL2006) will be fed with E. Coli (OP5O) with 100 ul spots. Ginkgo Biloba Amyloid, Freeze Dried Black Raspberries and Freeze Dried Blueberries will be given in the NGM in a 10 % solution to both the CL2006 strain and the control strain

  16. Protocols for Measurement (cont) • All solutions will be given for one day at a time and analysis will be analyzed after 2 days. • Analysis will be compared ( under a microscope) to the number of normal and the number of paralyzed c. elegans

  17. Do- ability • C. elegans and chemicals are easy to buy • Much of the equipment is already in the lab • Chemicals are easily applied to C. elegans
