Beta amyloid suppresses the expression of the vitamin d receptor gene and induces the expression of the vitamin d catabolic enzyme gene in hippocampal neurons.

abstract：:Antioxidants prevent oxidative stress that possibly causes neuronal loss in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We examined whether high plasma levels of the antioxidant vitamins A and E were associated with lower prevalence of AD or cognitive decline (CD). We performed a cross-sectional study within the Rotterdam Study. In an ...
