background : alzheimer's disease (ad) is one of the most common problems for old peoples. etiology of ad is not clear, but genetic factors play a major role in determining a person's risk to develop ad. twin and family studies con-firm that ad has a genetic basis.ad genetics has been split into two broad categories: early-onset and late-onset. eo-ad cases are inherited in an autosomal dominant ...

The most popular animal models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are transgenic mice expressing human genes with known mutations which do not represent the most abundant sporadic form of the disease. An increasing number of genetic, vascular and psychosocial data strongly support that the Octodon degus, a moderate-sized and diurnal precocial rodent, provides a naturalistic model for the study of the ...

alzheimer's disease (ad) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that accounts for 60 to 80 percent of all dementia cases. the exact cause of alzheimer`s disease is still unknown, but recent studies suggest neuro-inflammation as an important part of the pathogenesis of the disease. this brings in mind using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaid) as treatment or prevention of the dise...

alzheimer's disease (ad) is the most common form of neurodegenerative disorders. memory loss in an alert person and impairment in the function of language, attention, perception, judgment or problem solving can occur in patients with ad. however, there are some medications in order to delay the debilitating aspects of the disease; but unfortunately, scientists could not found approaches to...

background: recent studies have shown that oxidative stress (os) is the most important indicator in the pathogenesis of alzheimer's disease (ad), but the results in previous studies are conflicting. this study aimed to assess the plasma levels of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-ohdg) as dna oxidative damage marker and total antioxidant capacity (tac) in patients with ad versus control ...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is the most common type of dementia.AD includes 60_80% of dementia and most people with AD have more than 65 years old.AD causes losing neuronal activity by abnormal proteins. Plaques of beta-amyloid and tangles of “tau” protein can lead to AD. Recently evidence has found that AD may come from outside of central nerv...

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common disorder of dementia, which has not been cured after its occurrence. AD progresses indiscernible, first destroy the structure of the brain and subsequently becomes clinically evident. Therefore, the timely and correct diagnosis of these structural changes in the brain is very important and it can prevent the disease or stop its progress. N...
