## Abstract Amyloid β peptide (Aβ) is implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The peptide is toxic to neurons, possibly by causing initial synaptic dysfunction and neuronal membrane dystrophy, promoted by increased cellular Ca^2+^. Calpain (Ca^2+^‐dependent protease) and caspase
## Abstract The mechanisms involved in the loss of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), seen in brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and in cultured cells treated by β‐amyloid peptides (Aβs), remain elusive. We give results to show that lipid peroxidation induced directly by Aβ m
