ADVANCED GLYCATION ENDPRODUCTS INCREASE β-AMYLOID TOXICITY AND CAUSE ENERGY DEPLETION IN NEURONS.

The article presents an abstract of the study "Advanced Glycation Endproducts Increase βAmyloid Toxicity and Cause Energy Depletion in Neurons." It will be presented at a joint meeting of the International Society for Neurochemistry and the European Society for Neurochemistry which will be organized in Berlin, Germany, from August 8-14, 1999. The result suggests that interference with AGE-related toxicity are promising targets for a neuroprotective treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
