The 25-35 fragment of the amyloid β (Aβ) peptide is a naturally occurring proteolytic by-product of its larger parent molecule that retains the amyloid characteristics and toxicity of the full length parent molecule. Aggregation of this peptide occurs rapidly in aqueous solutions and thus characterization of its folding process is very difficult. In the present study, early stages of Aβ(25–35) ...

Background: AD is a neurodegenerative disorder in which there is a gathering of beta-amyloid plaques, primarily in the hippocampus, that lead to neuronal death. Exercise training and botanical medications can play a role in the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of aerobic training and Salvia officinalis extract...

Background Early detection of amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation has become important as Aβ begins before clinical symptoms appear. Previous longitudinal studies Aβ-negative (Aβ-) people have shown that some them convert to amyloid-positive (Aβ+) and others remain amyloid-negative. The effects conversion Aβ+ not been extensively investigated, yet. aim the study is investigate cognitive changes acco...

background and objectives: alzheimer's disease (ad) as a neurodegenerative disorder is the most common form of dementia in the elderly. according to the amyloid hypothesis, accumulation of amyloid beta (aβ) plaques, which are mostly constituted of aβ peptide aggregates, triggers pathological cascades that lead to neuronal cell death. thus, modulation of aβ toxicity is the hopeful therapeut...

alzheimer disease (ad) is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by cognitive and behavioral impairment. amyloid beta (aβ) peptides are involved in ad as the main component of amyloid plaques found in the brain. recent in vivo and in vitro studies have shown that there is a lot of substances that alter aβ pathogenesis of ad. aβ induces toxicity lead to increasing ros. in the other hand, 5-ht6 and ...

introduction: although aging is the most important risk factor for alzheimer's disease (ad), there is evidence indicating that neuroinflammation may contribute to the development and progression of the disease. several studies indicated that minocycline may exert neuroprotective effects in rodent models of neurodegenerative diseases. nevertheless, there are also other studies implying that...

Amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ)-directed active and passive immunization therapeutic strategies reduce brain levels of Aβ, decrease the severity of beta-amyloid plaque pathology and reverse cognitive deficits in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD). As an alternative approach to passive immunization with full IgG molecules, single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibodies can modulate or neutrali...

Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β mediates amyloid-beta (Aβ) and oxidative stress-induced neurotoxicity in neurodegenerative disorders. Natural products with antioxidant activity, such as Sargassum (S.) oligocystum may modulate GSK-3β enzyme and protect against Aβ-induced neurotoxicity. Therefore, we aimed to assess the neuroprotective effects of a methanolic extract of S. oligocystum against A...
