  1. Peripheral Administration of GSK-3β Antisense Oligonucleotide Improves Learning and Memory in SAMP8 and Tg2576 Mouse Models of Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2016-10-01 Drug development

    Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β is a multifunctional protein that has been implicated in the pathological characteristics of Alzheimer's disease (AD), including the heightened levels of neurofibrillary tangles, amyloid-beta (Aβ), and neurodegeneration.

  2. Antisense directed against PS-1 gene decreases brain oxidative markers in aged senescence accelerated mice (SAMP8) and reverses learning and memory impairment: a proteomics study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Free radical biology & medicine 2013-06-15 Drug development

    Amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) plays a central role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) through the induction of oxidative stress.

  3. Peripheral administration of antisense oligonucleotides targeting the amyloid-β protein precursor reverses AβPP and LRP-1 overexpression in the aged SAMP8 mouse brain

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2012-01-01 Drug development

    The senescence accelerated mouse-prone 8 (SAMP8) mouse model of Alzheimer's disease has a natural mutation leading to age-related increases in the amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) and amyloid-β (Aβ) in the brain, memory impairment, and deficits in Aβ removal from the brain.

  4. Amyloid beta protein (Abeta) levels are elevated in the brain of Alzheimer's disease patients.

  5. Molecular cloning, expression, and regulation of hippocampal amyloid precursor protein of senescence accelerated mouse (SAMP8)

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Biochemistry and cell biology = Biochimie et biologie cellulaire 2001-01-01 Drug development

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with increased expression of amyloid precursor protein (APP) with a consequent deposition of amyloid beta peptide (Abeta) which forms characteristic senile plaques.
