Examples in Context

  1. Pre-clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer disease combining platelet amyloid precursor protein ratio and rCBF spect analysis
  2. BACKGROUND : Deposition of beta-amyloid protein is the main cause of Alzheimer disease. Overexpression of β - amyloid precursor protein gene (β APP-gene ) or mutation of it at certain part can be related with the attack of Alzheimer disease.
  3. There are similar biological changes in older patients with MCI and Alzheimer's disease, including Tau protein, beta-amyloid protein, amyloid precursor protein, choline acetyltransferase activity and event-related potentials.
  4. It is important for studies on etiological factors of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease to understand the relationship of estrogen with the metabolism of beta - amyloid precursor protein and beta-amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme ( BACE ).
  5. A study of mutation of amyloid precursor protein gene exon 16 and exon 17 in Alzheimer disease
