1 The presence of amyloid beta (Abeta) has been shown to disrupt gliotransmission, neurotransmitter uptake, and alter calcium signaling in astrocytes. Calcium amyloid beta precursor protein Homo sapiens
2 Additionally, Abeta induces the appearance of oxidative stress (OS) and production of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species in astrocytes, affecting among others, intracellular calcium levels, NADPH oxidase (NOX), NF-kappaB signaling, glutamate uptake (increasing the risk of excitotoxicity) and mitochondrial function.
