Alzheimer's is a neurodegenerative disease distinguished by the aggregates of amyloid β (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles of Tau protein in the brain that causes dementia.
The research to assess the efficacy of orally administered HT-ALZ to reduce the Aβ concentration in the brain interstitial fluid was done by using an established Alzheimer's Disease mouse model (aged APP/PS1+/-mice). Meanwhile, the initial data from the study showed a remarkable decline in Aβ after extensive treatment with HT-ALZ.
