Abstract excerpt
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) are widely used to compensate for acetylcholine (ACh) depletion in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain. Some clinical and experimental studies, however, have suggested that AChEIs also provide neuroprotection. To assess the effect of AChEIs on neurodegeneration, donepezil (DZ), an AChEI, was administered to FTDP-17 model mice with a P301S tau mutation (line PS19). Eight...
