Lithium may be useful in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease in individuals at risk of presenile familial Alzheimer's disease.

Yeh Heng-Liang, Tsai Shih-Jen

Abstract excerpt

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia among older people. Presenile familial AD (FAD) and sporadic Alzheimer's disease (SAD) have identical brain lesions, containing senile plaques with beta-amyloid (Abeta) peptide and neurofibrillary tangles formed by hyperphosphorylation of a microtubule-associated protein known as tau. However, FAD and SAD differ in onset and genetic transmission. Unlike...
