Increased alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor protein levels in Alzheimer's disease patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND/AIM:3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) are thought to reduce the amount of Abeta peptides by reducing cholesterol from blood and/or cerebrospinal fluid. We performed this meta-analysis to evaluate the preventive and treatment effects of statins on dementia and Alzheimer dise...
