Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified in neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease, where accumulation of beta-amyloid (Abeta) and oxidative stress seem to play central roles in the pathogenesis, by probably directly leading to mitochondrial dysfunction. OBJECTIVE: In order to study the in vivo effect of Abeta load during aging, we evaluated the mitochondrial function of brain...
