An intracerebroventricular injection of AΒ (1-42) modifies temporal profiles of spatial memory performance and oxidative status in the temporal cortex rat.

Alzheimer's dementia (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes memory loss and dementia in older adults. Intracellular accumulation of Aβ causes an imbalance in the oxidative status and cognitive dysfunctions. Besides oxidative stress and loss of memory, Alzheimer's patients show dysfunction of the circadian rhythms.

Day-night oscillations of cognitive functions, TNF alpha and clock -related factors expression are modified by an intracerebroventricular injection of amyloid beta peptide in rat.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia characterized by a gradual impairment in cognitive functions. Recent research have shown that TNF-α is a proinflammatory cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, such as AD. Besides cognitive deficit, AD patients show alterations in their circadian rhythms.

An intracerebroventricular injection of amyloid-beta peptide (1-42) aggregates modifies daily temporal organization of clock factors expression, protein carbonyls and antioxidant enzymes in the rat hippocampus.

Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most frequent form of dementia in the elderly. It is characterized by the deterioration of memory and learning. The histopathological hallmarks of AD include the presence of extracellular deposits of amyloid beta peptide, intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, neuron and synapse loss, in the brain, including the hippocampus.
