A U.S. study reveals a key to Alzheimer's disease presenting in Because the theory of overproduction of beta-amyloid plaque in the brain. Researchers directed by Dr. Randall Beteman of Washington University in St. Louis have shown that people with Alzheimer's disease can not eliminate the beta-amyloid plaque while it is produced in the same amount healthy people the same age. People with Alzheimer's disease are between 100 to 1000 times the amount of beta-amyloid in the brain than healthy people.
The researchers compared 12 people with Alzheimer's disease and 12 healthy people. The production of beta-amyloid plaque was identical in both groups but the researchers found a 30% decrease in the ability to clear beta-amyloid plaque in people with Alzheimer's disease.
A 30% decrease in the ability to clear beta-amyloid plaque means that the disease takes 10 years before patients show signs of mental impairment.
This discovery is key to the development of new treatments according to the researchers who published their findings in the renowned journal Science . By A Bless according to Science and analysis Pharmactua
