Health | Research has shown that overproduction of a protein called IL-1 by microglia is an integral part of the inflammatory response that has been reported in AD. Over-expression of IL-1 induces astrocyte activation that is associated with the conversion of beta-amyloid deposits into neuritic plaques and may have a role in increased synthesis and processing of APP. This self-perpetuating cycle may explain, in part, the progressive nature of AD, but these complex pathways need to be confirmed in other types of studies. (references) | |
