By inhibiting these gingipains, COR388 aims to protect neurons from bacterial toxicity, lower neuroinflammation and reduce
abeta42 production, thereby preventing further cognitive decline and dysfunction.
Elevated
Abeta42 levels, measured by the saliva test, can lead to dementia.
The study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, was based on measuring the concentration of a form of the amyloid beta protein known as
Abeta42 that is secreted in saliva.

In AD-like Tg2576 mice, diet-induced insulin resistance promotes Abeta40 and
Abeta42 peptide generation in the brain that corresponds with increased gamma-secretase activities.
(71), (72) "Exposure to air pollution causes neuroinflammation, an altered brain innate immune response, and accumulation of
Abeta42 and alphasynuclein starting in childhood.
Low cerebrospinal fluid levels of amyloid beta 42 (
Abeta42) and high levels of tau are now seen as important diagnostic hallmarks for Alzheimer's.
