Abstract:
Deposition of -amyloid peptide (A ) and hyperphosphorylation of the protein are associated with neuronal dysfunction and cell death in Alzheimer’s disease. Although the relationship between these two processes is not yet understood studies have shown

Materials & Methods:
After the final precipitation step neurons were suspended in fresh Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium/F-12 (Sigma-Aldrich St. Louis MO) with 10% fetal bovine serum (Atlanta Biologicals Lawrenceville GA) and plated at a density of 2.5 x 10^5 cells in
