You can call any of these for free. You do not need a diagnosis, an appointment, or a crisis to call — questions and plain exhaustion are reasons enough.

  1. Proteomic identification of proteins oxidized by Abeta(1-42) in synaptosomes: implications for Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Brain research 2005-04-15 Biomarkers

    Protein oxidation has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and can lead to loss of protein function, abnormal protein turnover, interference with cell cycle, imbalance of cellular redox potential, and eventually cell death.

  2. Time-dependent reduction in Abeta levels after intracranial LPS administration in APP transgenic mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Experimental neurology 2004-11-01 Biomarkers

    Inflammation has been argued to play a primary role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. Intra- and extracellular Abeta and PHF in clinically evaluated cases of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Histology and histopathology 2004-07-01 Biomarkers

    Temporal cortical sections from postmortem brains of individuals without any dementing condition and with different degrees of severity of Alzheimer's disease (AD) evaluated by the Clinical Dementia Rating scale (CDR 0-CDR 3) were analyzed using immunohistochemical procedures.

  4. Amyloid beta-protein (Abeta)1-40 protects neurons from damage induced by Abeta1-42 in culture and in rat brain

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neurochemistry 2003-11-01 Biomarkers

    Previously, we found that amyloid beta-protein (Abeta)1-42 exhibits neurotoxicity, while Abeta1-40 serves as an antioxidant molecule by quenching metal ions and inhibiting metal-mediated oxygen radical generation.

  5. Amyloid beta-protein (Abeta)-containing astrocytes are located preferentially near N-terminal-truncated Abeta deposits in the human entorhinal cortex

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2000-12-01 Biomarkers

    The deposition of the amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) is a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
