Q

Which pathologies can cause aggregation and sendimentation of that amyloid beta protein

A

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

A

Sink of amyloid protein

17
Q

Did the mice that was fed with high fat diet developed hyper phosphorylation in the tau protein

A

No

18
Q

Occurrence of which disease that Statin drug can delay or inhibit

A

Dementia

19
Q

Does Alzheimer suffers also has the vascular pathology

A

The vast majority do

20
Q

Can statin cross BBB

A

Yes

21
Q

How prostaglandins can affect inflammation in the brain

A

Increase it

22
Q

From which compound does the prostaglandin derived

A

Arachidonic acid

23
Q

Which enzyme catalyzes formation of prostaglandins from Archidona acid

A

Cox2

24
Q

Which Cox enzyme considered the good Cox

A

Cox1

25
Q

In which cells cocks too is mainly present

A

Inflammatory and immune cells

26
Q

Which brsin cells are part of the immune system

A

Microglia

27
Q

How can the microglia cells be targeted into dealing with Alzheimer

A

Decrease the stress that cause activation of glio cells and secretion of inflammatory compound

28
Q

Which type of drugs can reduce stress and decrease inflammation in the brain and that’s Health Alzheimer sufferers

A

NSAID

29
Q

Is insulin significant for the reception of glucose in the brain

A

No

30
Q

Which glucose receptors are present in the brain

A

1 and 3

31
Q

Which role does the insulin have in the development of the brain

A

Development of glial cells

32
Q

How neuronal insulin resistance affect the tau protein

A

Causes autophosphorylation

33

What is type three diabetes

A

Situation where the neurons does not respond to insulin
