Amyloid β protein impairs motor function via thromboxane A2 in the rat striatum

Amyloid β protein (Aβ) deposits are found in the striatum of patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) showing extrapyramidal motor dysfunction, but neuronal cell loss has not yet been detected. To clarify how Aβ impairs motor function, we analyzed intrastriatally Aβ-injected rats. Unilateral injection o...
