  1. Correlations between plasma and PET beta-amyloid levels in individuals with subjective cognitive decline: the Fundació ACE Healthy Brain Initiative (FACEHBI)

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2018-11-29 Biomarkers

    To facilitate clinical trials of disease-modifying therapies, plasma concentrations of Aβ species are good candidates for peripheral AD biomarkers, but studies to date have generated conflicting results.

  2. Elevated Plasma Aβ42 in Cognitively Impaired Individuals Taking ACE Inhibitor Antihypertensives

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. American journal of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias 2017-04-27 Biomarkers

    This study is the first to show an association between ACE-I use and increased plasma Aβ42 level and Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio in cognitively impaired individuals.

  3. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) levels and activity in Alzheimer's disease, and relationship of perivascular ACE-1 to cerebral amyloid angiopathy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuropathology and applied neurobiology 2007-10-31 Biomarkers

    Our findings indicate that ACE-1 activity is increased in AD, in direct relationship to parenchymal Abeta load.
