A genetic variation of the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 delays the initial onset and reduces the risk for sporadic Alzheimer's disease.

Annals of neurology - 1 May 1999

Papassotiropoulos A, Bagli M, Jessen F, Bayer T A, Maier W, Rao M L, Heun R

Abstract excerpt

Local inflammatory processes surrounding the amyloid plaques contribute to the progression and acceleration of the Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related neurodegeneration. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an inflammatory cytokine with possible involvement in the local immune response occurring in the central n...
