Abstract:The aim of the study was to assess the level of NAD+ in the brain of mice treated with beta-amyloid (Aβ), as well as to determine the activity of ADP-ribosyl cyclase/CD38 and the number of CD38-immunopositive neurons, astrocytes and endothelial cells. Material and methods. The Alzheimer’s disease model was reproduced by intrahippocampal administration of Aβ to C57BL/6 mice. Determination of the NAD+ level in the extracellular fluid of the brain and in the hippocampal tissue was carried out by spectrophotometri… Show more
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.
