Samy, Igwe: "Regulation of IL-1?-induced cyclooxygenase-2 expression by interactions of A? peptide, apolipoprotein E and nitric oxide in human neuroglioma." in: Journal of molecular neuroscience : MN, Vol. 47, Issue 3, pp. 533-45, (2012) (PubMed).
Intracerebroventricular administration of synthetic peptides Abeta (12-20), (12-28), and (18-28) causes amnesia in mice. These peptides contain the amino acid residues VFF at position (18-20), suggesting that this triad has amnestic effects.
