The senile plaques of Alzheimer’s disease contain a high concentration of beta-amyloid (βA) protein, which may affect the glial population in the septal nucleus, an area of increased risk in AD. βA toxicity was measured in septal glia, via a dose-response experiment, by quantifying the effects of three different doses (0.1, 1, and 10 μM) of βA on cell survival. Astrocytes from embryonic day-16 rats...
