A population study on blood-brain barrier function in 85-year-olds: relation to Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:TCH346 exerts antiapoptotic effects by binding to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and blocking the apoptotic pathway in which GAPDH is involved. Apoptosis is considered to be a key pathogenic mechanism in neurodegenerative diseases including ALS. METHODS:Patients were randomly assigned in a...
