Beta-Amyloid Dimers Found in Alzheimer's Patient Brains

The most widely used biomarkers for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are currently the concentrations of beta-amyloid (Aβ) and phosphorylated Tau in cerebrospinal fluid. However, it has been observed that not all individuals with alterations in these biomarkers develop the disease. More...

Low Total Testosterone Linked to Chronic Disease

A male's total testosterone level may be linked to more than just sexual health and muscle mass preservation. Low amounts of the hormone could also be associated with chronic disease, even among men 40 years of age and younger. More...

BTP Viewed As Glomerular Filtration Rate Marker

Beta Trace Protein (BTP) is a promising marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as it was reported to be increased in the serum of patients with renal disease. Some evidence suggests that it is more sensitive than creatinine (Cr) at detecting early changes in GFR. More...
