Sentences with phrase «levels of amyloid precursor protein»

Previously, researchers have shown that treating cells with neuregulin - 1, for example, dampens levels of amyloid precursor protein, a molecule that generates amyloid beta, which aggregate and form plaques in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.

That's because the boosted mice produced normal — rather than high — levels of the amyloid precursor proteins from which plaques are made.

There were no differences in CSF levels of total tau, Aβ42, Aβ40, soluble amyloid β protein precursor (sAβPP) α or β, or F2 - isoprostanes.

Aged mutant amyloid precursor protein mice with established disease showed a near complete restoration in levels of synaptic and neuronal proteins after exposure to young blood in parabiosis (synaptophysin P =.02; calbindin P =.02) or following intravenous plasma administration (synaptophysin P <.001; calbindin P =.14).

One hypothesis is that as a regulator of Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP), a gene that may be partly responsible for inducing Alzheimer's, TSH levels may have a direct impact on the prevalence of Alzheimer's.
