  1. Amyloid beta peptide load is correlated with increased beta-secretase activity in sporadic Alzheimer's disease patients

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 2004-02-20 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Whether elevated beta-secretase (BACE) activity is related to plaque formation or amyloid beta peptide (Abeta) production in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains remains inconclusive.

  2. Deposition of Alzheimer's beta-amyloid is inversely correlated with P-glycoprotein expression in the brains of elderly non-demented humans

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Pharmacogenetics 2002-10-01 Genetics

    Deposition of the beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta) in the brain occurs during normal ageing and is substantially accelerated in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

  3. Glial reaction in the hippocampal formation is highly correlated with aging in human brain

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroscience letters 1997-10-01 Biomarkers

    Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a biochemical marker of astrocytes and glial reaction, was quantified by immunoblotting in different brain areas from 33 non-demented patients with a Mini Mental State Examination score above 26 and aged from 12 to 98 years.
