Coconut Oil Decreases Expression of Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) and Secretion of Amyloid Peptides throughInhibitionof ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1).

CONCLUSION: These results suggest that coconut oil decreases intracellular ARF1 expression, thereby resulting in an inhibition of APP and amyloid β secretion. This study reveals a novel mechanism for intracellular APP processing in neuronal cells. PMID: 30287345 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
