摘要
The effect of corticosteroid on the concentration of amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) in human CSF obtained from 16 patients without dementia treated with prednisolone (greater than or equal to30 mg daily) was studied. The concentrations of Abetax-40 and Abetax-42 in CSF decreased after treatment was started (p < 0.002). A moderate- or high-dose regimen of prednisolone decreases Abeta production or increases Abeta degradation in the human brain and deserves further study in AD.
