Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative cognitive condition that affects individuals with an increasing prevalence in older age groups. There are currently five drugs on the market for AD but no new effective ones have been discovered for decades. There has been increasing interest in the use of natural remedies such as special diets and plant extracts but these require further study. Based on the known effects on white matter and neuronal conductance in Alzheimer's disease, we present a protocol for proteomic analysis of myelin-enriched brain fractions as a way of identifying potential biomarkers of efficacy. This fingerprint could be used in screening assays for novel compounds for treatment of AD.
