Estrogen effects in the myocardium: inhibition of NF-kappaB DNA binding by estrogen receptor-alpha and -beta.

abstract：:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia. Today, AD can be diagnosed with certainty only post-mortem, by histopathologic staining of Abeta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in brain tissue sections. We have developed an ultra-sensitive assay potential...
