Effect of a Cognitive Training Program on the Platelet APP Ratio in Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease
In patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), synaptic plasticity seems to be involved in cognitive improvement induced by cognitive training. The platelet amyloid precursor protein (APP) ratio (APPr), i.e., the ratio between two APP isoforms, may be a useful peripheral biomarker to investigate synapti...
