Dehydroepiandrosterone reduces expression and activity of BACE in NT2 neurons exposed to oxidative stress

Recently, we showed that oxidative stress activates the expression and activity of the β-site AβPP-cleaving enzyme (BACE), an aspartyl protease responsible for the β-secretase cleavage of AβPP. The identification of compounds able to prevent the induction of this event is an important goal of therap...
