A REVIEW OF BIOCHEMICAL MARKERS FOR EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF ALZHEIMERâS DISEASE [PDF]
Alzheimer’s disease, the most prevalent type of dementia, affects the life of elderly, to such extent that it impairs the ability to perform routine functions as well. The impairment of normal functions not only affects the patients but the family members as well.

Amyloid and tau in the brain in sporadic Alzheimer’s disease: defining the chicken and the egg [PDF]
In the October 2013 issue of Acta Neuropathologica there were three very interesting articles on: Amyloid or tau: the chicken or the egg? In the first article, David Mann and John Hardy argued that the deposition of aggregated amyloid β (Aβ) protein in ...

Amyloid-beta peptide, oxidative stress and inflammation in Alzheimer’s disease: Potential neuroprotective effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids [PDF]
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia in the elderly and is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterised by a decline in cognitive function and also profound alterations in mood and behaviour. The pathology of the disease is

Alzheimer’s disease frequency peaks in the tenth decade and is lower afterwards
Age is the most robust risk factor for Alzheimer’s dementia, however there is little data on the relation of age to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other common neuropathologies that contribute to Alzheimer’s dementia.

Assessment of Screening Approach in Early and Differential Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosis
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in the elderly population. Currently, diagnosis is based on invasive and expensive techniques, so there is a growing need to look for other possible tests, as well as carry out ...

Exercise, cognition and Alzheimer’s disease: More is not necessarily better [PDF]
Regional hypoperfusion, associated with a reduction in cerebral metabolism, is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and contributes to cognitive decline. Cerebral perfusion and hence cognition can be enhanced by exercise.

The activity of amyloid beta binding alcohol dehydrogenase in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
The mitochondria are a vibrant hub for many problems that occur in Alzheimer’s disease. The enzyme amyloid-ß binding alcohol dehydrogenase (ABAD) and Cyclophilin D (CypD) are two key mitochondrial proteins that have essential functions in Alzheimer’s ...
