“…They include: Aβ 1–42 accumulation, excitotoxicity/NO excess, mitochondrial dysfunction, hypoxia/anoxia/hypoglycaemia, oxygen radicals formation, inflammation, metals (Ca 2+ , Zn 2+ , Fe 2+ , Al 3+ ) accumulation, or neurothrophin depletion, which were investigated as cytotoxic signals in AD (Fig. 2) [27, 90, 91, 93, 94, 112–118]. Also activation of microglia yielding increased release of proinflamatory interleukins may induce neurodegeneration through Wnt or p75 neurotrophin receptor-dependent signal transduction pathways [75, 119, 120].…”
