| Hi KP,
| I would have to give my opinion on the cause of AD and I would say
that it
| has nothing to do with any transcription faults. All the proteins
are all
| ready present and working in healthy individuals, in people with AD
one of
| the proteins (APP) is simply processed another way, by another
enzyme which
| is already present (BACE) leading to the increased production of
the toxic
| peptide (ABP). The questions now are how does this peptide kill
neurons,
| which I would say involves calcium disruption through ABP pores and
ROS
| production (which arises from ABP interactions with the
mitochondria), and
| why is this harmful peptide produced in old age, which I would
suggest was
| due to cells adapting to the altered environment of the aged brain,
with
| particular attention to oxygen content.
|| Just my opinions,
| Kim
