Dani Brain 3 Flashcards
What is the major risk factor of Alzheimer
Aging
When is it possible to declare in full certainty that person is sick with Alzheimer’s
Only post death surgery
Which areas of the brain are the first to be damaged in Alzheimer disease
Hypocampus
Aggregation of which protein can cause Alzheimer’s disease
Amyloid precursor protein
Creating which part the amyloid protein is supposedly to take part in
Synapses
Which enzyme cuts the emulloid precourser protein in the N terminal which turns out as amyloid Beta
BACE protein
What is the name of that short amyloid peptide that aggregate and sinks in the brain
Amyloid beta
Which pathologies can cause aggregation and sendimentation of that amyloid beta protein
Cell death
Porous membrane
Damaging process releasing of glutamate that cause it’s accumulation and activation of glial cell and increased entrance of calcium ions to the cell that will eventually cause Cell death
Where does amyloid protein sink in the brain
In the cells
between cells
in the blood vessels
Which protein that serves as a scaffold of that microtubule is damaged in the Alzheimer’s disease
TAU protein
What happened to that tau protein that causes in its aggregation and eventually Alzheimer
Hyper phosphorylation
Mutation in which Gene is the most common reason for developing Alzheimer’s in an early age
PS1
Mutation in which apolipoprotein can result in developing Alzheimer’s disease in Older ages
ApoE
Aggregation of which Apple E protein can result into developing Alzheimer in older ages
ApoE4
What is the role of the ApoE protein
Carry cholesterol
