By measuring Aβ levels in superior vena cava and inferior vena cava, it is clear thatAβ levels are getting lower and lower along the direction of the vein blood flow, and the contents of Aβ40 and total Aβ in artery are significantly less than those in vein, suggesting a part of Aβ40 and total Aβ can be cleared by peripheral organs and tissues, such as the liver, kidney, skin, and the gastrointestinal tract, although there is no change in Aβ42 concentrations (Xiang et al. 2015)
