Vitamin E reduces amyloidosis and improves cognitive function in Tg2576 mice following repetitive concussive brain injury

Traumatic brain injury is a well-recognized environmental risk factor for developing Alzheimer's disease. Repetitive concussive brain injury (RCBI) exacerbates brain lipid peroxidation, accelerates amyloid (Aβ) formation and deposition, as well…
