Dementia among elderly people is one of the major problems since the ages over 65 years have been steadily increased in the past decades. The mitochondria in a neuron plays important roles of the brain functions, and dysfunctions of the organelle might be related with the cognitive disorder. Simulations of the additional mitochondrial enzymes such as succinic acid dehydrogenase (SDH) and nicotinamid adenine dinucleotide tetrazolim reductase (NADH-TR) add to the energy sources to adenocine triphosphatase. The important roles of SDH and NADHTR are discussed. Stimulations of these enzymes may prevent dementia of the aging group.
