Abstract excerpt
Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) made of phosphorylated tau proteins are a key lesion of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases, and previous studies have indicated that lithium can decrease tau phosphorylation in tau transgenic models. In this study, we have reassessed the effectiveness of treatment per os with lithium on the prevention, the arrest, or the reversal of NFT development in a tau...
