1 Resveratrol also lowers Abeta levels in cell lines; however, the underlying mechanism responsible for this effect is largely unknown. Resveratrol amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein Mus musculus
2 Direct pharmacological and genetic activation of AMPK lowered extracellular Abeta accumulation, whereas AMPK inhibition reduced the effect of resveratrol on Abeta levels. Resveratrol amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein Mus musculus
3 Furthermore, resveratrol inhibited the AMPK target mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) to trigger autophagy and lysosomal degradation of Abeta. Resveratrol amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein Mus musculus
4 Finally, orally administered resveratrol in mice was detected in the brain where it activated AMPK and reduced cerebral Abeta levels and deposition in the cortex. Resveratrol amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein Mus musculus
