A possible mechanism of Alzheimer's disease caused by lipid peroxidation
Description: Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia and progressive neurodegenerative disease. The recent findings suggest that lipid peroxidation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. It is well known that lipids are oxidized by heating to produce lipid peroxides, which further cause oxidative stress in the body. In the present study, we investigated the induction of cell death and changes in oxidative damage proteins in monkeys exposed to oxidative stress.
