  1. APOE ɛ4 dose associates with increased brain iron and β-amyloid via blood-brain barrier dysfunction

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2022-04-28 Brain scans and imaging

    Our results suggest that an increased APOE ɛ4 dose is associated with decreased effective brain-waste clearance, such as iron and β-amyloid, through the BBB.

  2. Sex modifies APOE ε4 dose effect on brain tau deposition in cognitively impaired individuals

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2021-11-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Recent studies in cognitively unimpaired elderly individuals suggest that the APOE ε4 allele exerts a dosage-dependent effect on brain tau deposition.

  3. The results are consistent with earlier studies in supporting the hypothesis that LMTM might be effective as monotherapy and that 4 mg twice a day may serve as well as higher doses.

  4. Population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis of plasma Aβ40 and Aβ42 following single oral doses of the BACE1 inhibitor AZD3839 to healthy volunteers

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Clinical pharmacology in drug development 2014-05-26 Biomarkers

    Modulating deposition of Aβ-containing plaques in the brain may be beneficial in treating Alzheimer's disease. β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) inhibitors have been shown to reduce Aβ in plasma and CSF in healthy volunteers.

  5. Is high oral dose L-arginine intake effective in leukoaraiosis? Preliminary data, study protocol and expert's opinion

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Current aging science 2013-07-01 Biomarkers

    Because of its high prevalence in over-65-year-old subjects, we hypothesized that treatment with 6 gr of Larginine, as supplementary dietary option, could be helpful in patients affected by leukoaraiosis to improve the cognitive and gait impairment often observed in these subjects (as demonstrated by the LADIS study).
