Quite a fascinating, well engineered line of inquiry in a multi-year study on Alzheimer’s Disease demonstrating the importance of lithium in neuronal function the absence of which is demonstrated to be associated with AD and cognitive decline.

Notice in particular figure 4 and the cascading up-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines. More grist for the mill for whomever chooses to partner or buy out Cytodyn.
“Microglia from Li-deficient wild-type mice showed elevated release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF and G-CSF, as well as the immune activating chemokines CCL3, CCL4, CCL5 and CXCL2 (Fig. 4d). Finally, microglia isolated from Li-deficient wild-type mice showed significantly reduced Aβ42 uptake and subsequent degradation of Aβ42 relative to microglia from control mice (Fig. 4e). Thus, Li deficiency leads to a reactive pro-inflammatory state and impaired Aβ clearance.”
