  1. Long-term treatment with lithium alleviates memory deficits and reduces amyloid-β production in an aged Alzheimer's disease transgenic mouse model

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2011-01-01 Drug development

    The glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) pathway plays a central role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its deregulation accounts for many of the pathological hallmarks of AD.

  2. Aging canines develop cognitive dysfunction and neuropathology similar to those seen in humans, and the use of antioxidants results in reductions in oxidative damage and in improvement in cognitive function in this canine model of human aging.

  3. Reducing the risk of dementia: efficacy of long-term treatment of hypertension

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Stroke 2006-04-06 Drug development

    For each additional year of treatment there was a reduction in the risk of incident dementia (hazard ratio [HR]=0.94, 95% CI, 0.89 to 0.99).
