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.

    Neurochemical dementia diagnostics (NDD) can significantly improve the clinically based categorization of patients with early dementia disorders, and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of amyloid beta peptides ending at the amino acid position of 42 (A beta x-42 and A beta 1-42) are widely accepted biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Human and murine ApoE markedly alters A beta metabolism before and after plaque formation in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of disease 2002-04-01 Genetics

    The epsilon4 allele of apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), perhaps through effects on amyloid-beta (Abeta) metabolism.

  3. Beta-amyloid precursor protein (beta APP) as a marker for axonal injury after head injury

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroscience letters 1993-10-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    It has been demonstrated recently that beta-amyloid protein (beta AP), generally associated with the plaques of Alzheimer's disease, can also be found in the brains of survivors of head injury.
