The scientists injected the animals with tannin, which was extracted from the cones. The drug was able to slow down the destruction of brain cells from 70 to 20 percent. It turned out to be impossible to completely stop the process, since tannin molecules are large in size and cannot always penetrate from the vessels to the brain center. Therefore, scientists now have a new task - to create a reduced molecule of a substance so that it freely reaches its goal. Despite the fact that pine cones did not turn out to be a panacea, the fame of their effectiveness swept the world, acquiring more and more new details and legends. So this method of traditional medicine gained popularity - especially for tincture and decoction of pine fruits.
