Aβ 42 in the medium decreased in a GA dose-dependent manner (Fig. 3a). In contrast, GA significantly increased tau and its phosphorylated form, p-tauT181 (Fig. 3b,c) in the medium. In addition, VEGF (Fig. 3e) and TGF-β (Fig. 3f), which are also AD biomarkers, were increased when the concentration of GA added was greater than 0.7 mM. PubMed:26304819
In Alzheimer disease, 66 genes were identified that are also modulated by Protandim at the gene expression level. Of these 66 genes, the first 43 of them (65%) were regulated by Protandim in the opposing direction to that taken by the Alzheimer disease process. The beneficial effect of Protandim is further supported by the fact that of the 10 gene products currently targeted by drug therapies, eight of them are modulated by Protandim in the same direction that is proposed to be beneficial and caused by the drug.

TNF-α [27], IL-1β [28], IL-18 [29], CXCL10 [30] and TGF-β1 [31] are known to be elevated in the AD brain. PubMed:27288790
The M2c macrophages are thought to be in an ‘acquired deactivation’ state induced by IL-10, TGF-b, glucocorticoids or contact with apoptotic cells, and are associated with a suppression of the innate immune response. PubMed:21718217
