Outline of Final Research Achievements

Alzheimer's disease is the principal disease causing dementia, and has not been completely cured. So it's so important to avoid the development and delay the onset of AD. The association between AD and life style disease is widely reported. We consider that the improvement of lifestyle can be suppress the pathogenesis of AD. Especially, we focus on exercise-related molecule X. We analysis of the effect of molecule X for Aβ level, the most major cause in the AD pathology, furthermore we will reveal that by using intervention experiments using AD model mice.
