## Abstract The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is cleaved enzymatically by nonamyloidogenic and amyloidogenic pathways. α‐Secretase (α‐secretase), cleaves APP within the β‐amyloid (Aβ) sequence, resulting in the release of a secreted fragment of APP (αAPPs) and precluding Aβ generation. In this st
Inflammatory reactions are considered one of the important etiologic factors in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Prostaglandins such as PGE 2 and PGA 1 and free radicals are some of the agents released during inflammatory reactions, and they are neurotoxic. The mechanisms of their actio
