Review: Alzheimer's amyloid beta-peptide-associated free radical oxidative stress and neurotoxicity.

TLDR
Significant evidence is outlined from multiidisciplinary approaches for amyloid beta-peptide-associated free radical oxidative stress and neurotoxicity and protection against these oxidative processes and cell death by free radical scavengers and the strong evidence supporting the notion that the single methionine residue of amyloids beta- peptide is vital to the oxidative Stress and neurotoxicological properties of this peptide.

Protein aggregation and aggregate toxicity: new insights into protein folding, misfolding diseases and biological evolution

TL;DR: The 'new view' of these diseases suggests that other degenerative conditions could have similar underlying origins to those of the amyloidoses, and suggests some intriguing new factors that could be of great significance in the evolution of biological molecules and the mechanisms that regulate their behaviour.

Formation of neurofibrillary tangles in P301L tau transgenic mice induced by Aβ42 fibrils

TL;DR: The hypothesis that Aβ42 fibrils can accelerate NFT formation in vivo is supported, and NFTs that contained tau phosphorylated at serine 212/threonine 214 and serine 422 were identified.

The Curry Spice Curcumin Reduces Oxidative Damage and Amyloid Pathology in an Alzheimer Transgenic Mouse

TL;DR: Low and high doses of curcumin significantly lowered oxidized proteins and interleukin-1β, a proinflammatory cytokine elevated in the brains of these mice, and shows promise for the prevention of Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antioxidant Activity of Proteins and Peptides

TL;DR: While proteins and peptides have excellent potential as food antioxidants, issues such as allergenicity and bitter off-flavors as well as their ability to alter food texture and color need to be addressed.
