Plz help giving details of beta amyloid protein and tau protein in celebral artery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Proteins: That are formed and released in the brain as a result of inflammation of brain tissue. The underlying cause is what is known as oxidative stress. That essentially means that the brain is using oxygen inefficiently. Surprisingly it is due to relative vitamin deficiency from consumption of empty calories for years.
