Atcharaporn’s New Paper “N-Acetylcysteine Attenuates Aβ-Induced Oxidative Stress, Barrier Disruption, and Renal Dysfunction in 5xFAD Mice” is Published

Oxidative stress contributes to blood–brain barrier leakage, renal dysfunction, and cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease. In this study, the team used 5xFAD mice to show that N-acetylcysteine (NAC) reduces Aβ-induced oxidative damage and improves cognition and organ function. Congratulations Atcharaporn and team!
