Curcumin decreases amyloid beta-peptide levels by attenuating the maturation of amyloid-beta precursor protein by Bob DeMarco Patient Expert

Posted Wed 28 Jul 2010 10:17am for the effective treatment and prevention of AD-related β-amyloid pathology. Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with no cure. The pathogenesis of AD is believed to be primarily driven by Abeta, the principal component of senile plaques. Abeta is an ~4 kDa peptide generated via cleavage of the amyloid-beta Read on »

Alzheimer's-causing Amyloid and Bacteria Trigger Same Immune Response in the Brain by Cheryl Patient Expert

Posted Mon 27 Jul 2009 11:53pm , secondary amyloidosis and prion diseases, like Creutzfeldt-Jakob (the human form of mad cow disease). These diseases all involve marked inflammation at the sites of amyloid deposition, resulting in tissue injury. The protein forming plaques in Alzheimer’s patients is normally soluble. When the protein folds improperly, it forms amyloid deposits Read on »

Beta-Amyloid and Alzheimer's by Krista H. Posted Thu 13 Aug 2009 7:51pm I was reading an article online that talks about the Alzheimer's-related protein known as beta-amyloid. Beta-amyloid is best known as the sticky goo that makes up the hallmark plaques inside the brains of Alzheimer's victims. But it doesn't start out as gunk. Soluble forms are found in the fluid that bathes the brain, although scientists don't Read on »

Agents Useful for Reducing Amyloid Precursor Protein and Treating Dementia and Methods of Use Thereof by nih.gov Posted Mon 14 Jun 2010 5:00pm . Alzheimer's disease is characterized pathologically by the appearance of senile plaques, primarily composed of amyloid b protein (Ab), and neurofibrillary tangles in the CNS. Treatments reducing potentially toxic Ab may thus prevent the occurrence and progression of Alzheimer's disease. As Ab is derived from the larger b amyloid precursor protein (bAPP Read on »
