Popis: Background It has been shown that there is an age-related decrease in CSF production in the Fischer rat brain, and that this decrease follows the CNS deposition of amyloid rather than preceding it [1]. We have postulated that amyloid and Tau accumulation in normal aging is multi-factorial, combining early defects in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) efflux transport of amyloid beta-peptide (A-beta) with later changes in CSF production and turnover, as well as up-regulation of A-beta influx transport.
