Aged memory‐impaired cynomolgus monkeys had significantly lower levels of cerebrospinal amyloid (Aβ42) and serum testosterone compared with young animals and non–memory‐impaired controls. Our findings confirm similar findings in the human and substantiate the usefulness of the cynomolgus monkey as a spontaneous model for aging‐associated senile dementia of the Alzheimer type.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
