  1. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs), such as donepezil, have been shown to improve cognition in mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients.

  2. Increase of BDNF serum concentration during donepezil treatment of patients with early Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. European archives of psychiatry and clinical neuroscience 2007-11-07 Treatments

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) can be treated with inhibitors of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE).

  3. Degree of inhibition of cortical acetylcholinesterase activity and cognitive effects by donepezil treatment in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2005-03-01 Treatments

    Donepezil induced inhibition of cortical AChE enzyme activity is modest in patients with mild AD.
