Energy Deprivation Elevates BACE1 Protein Levels and Promotes Amyloidogenesis via EIF2alpha Phosphorylation

The cause(s) of Aβ overproduction and accumulation in SAD are unknown; however, several lines of evidence indicate that impaired energy metabolism in the brain may be involved. Furthermore, the rate-limiting enzyme in Aβ production, BACE1, is elevated in SAD brains around amyloid plaques, indicating that BACE1 may also play a...
