Aromatase enzyme and Alzheimer's disease.

Minerva endocrinologica - 1 Mar 2006

Hiltunen M, Iivonen S, Soininen H

Abstract excerpt

Aromatase enzyme encoded by CYP19 gene is responsible for the formation of estrone and estradiol from C19 androgens, androstenedione and testosterone. Several lines of evidence suggest an important role for the estrogens as well as androgens in the key pathogenic processes of Alzheimer's disease (AD) such as amyloid beta (Abeta) production, hyperphosporylation of tau protein, oxidative stress and apoptosis....
