Official Title: Effects of Acute Stress Exposure on Plasma Beta-amyloid Levels
Brief Summary:
Research has shown that activation of the sympathetic nervous system for extended periods or during certain times in life can increase the risk for Alzheimer's disease.Some research in animal models show that acute activation of the sympathetic nervous system through stress exposure can increase certain Alzheimer's disease-related biomarkers, such as amyloid-beta, within hours of exposure.However, how acute sympathetic nervous system activation via stress exposure affects amyloid-beta levels in humans…
