Abstract excerpt
The reduced antioxidative defense in allele epsilon4 carriers is suggested to contribute to beta-amyloidosis in Alzheimer's disease and Down's syndrome. We studied the effect of oxidative stress on accumulation of amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta) in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) that are engaged in production of amyloid-beta in vivo. Previously, we found that oxidative stress caused by ferrous ions induced...
