The etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains unknown. However, specific risk factors have been identified, and aging is the strongest AD risk factor. The majority of cardiovascular events occur in older people and a close relationship between vascular disorders and AD exists. Amyloid plaques, composed of the beta amyloid peptide (Aβ), are hallmark lesions in AD and evidence indicates that Aβ plays...
The activity of β-secretase (BACE1), the endo-protease essential for the production of amyloid β (Aβ) peptides, is increased in brain of late-onset sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD), and oxidative stress is the potential cause of this event. Oxidative stress up-regulates the expression and the activity of BACE1 in cellular and animal models, through a mechanism that involves the increase of γ-secretase...
