Modulation of statin-activated shedding of Alzheimer APP ectodomain by ROCK.
<h4>Background</h4>Statins are widely used cholesterol-lowering drugs that act by inhibiting HMGCoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis. Recent evidence suggests that statin use may be associated with a decreased risk for Alzheimer disease, although the mechan...
