Research Abstract |
Because it has been shown that the degree of beta-amyloid deposition in the Alzheimer's brain does not correlate with the deterioration of cognitive function, we aimed to examine the activity of ganma-secretase that regulates the production of beta-amyloid in vivo. The MRI probe that was designed to emit signals in high-magnetic field MRI worked in the in vitro setting failed to give enough NMR signals in the in vivo measurement, suggesting that a probe with a high permeability for cells and with a large signal-emitting power would be desirable.
