Abstract

Aβ uptake displayed circadian rhythmicity.

  • The choroid plexus is a key part of the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier and plays a role in the circadian clock system.
  • Angiotensin-converting enzyme (Ace) and transthyretin (Ttr) showed significant rhythmic expression in specific groups of mice.
  • Inadequate clearance of amyloid-β (Aβ) is linked to circadian dysfunctions in Alzheimer's disease patients.
  • The circadian expression of Aβ scavengers may influence the rhythmicity of Aβ uptake.
  • Results suggest that Alzheimer’s disease may disrupt the rhythmic expression of Aβ scavengers.
