    GLP-1 receptor agonists used for the treatment of diabetes, have shown some neuroprotective effects in cellular and animal models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD).

  2. Anti-Aβ antibodies incapable of reducing cerebral Aβ oligomers fail to attenuate spatial reference memory deficits in J20 mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of disease 2015-07-26 Treatments

    Compelling genetic evidence links the amyloid precursor protein (APP) to Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. Although much work has been directed recently towards unravelling the protein chemistry of neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) and senile plaque (SP) components in Alzheimer's disease, the pathogeneses of these lesions remains largely unknown and the problem of their relationship is unresolved.
