Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease is the most frequent neurodegenerative disorder in the aged population and is characterized by the deposition of the 40/42-residue amyloid beta protein (Abeta), a proteolytic fragment of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP). Recently, it has been shown that physiological doses of estradiol reduce the generation of endogenous Abeta in primary cortical neurons. Here we investigate the...
