Neurosteroids block the increase in intracellular calcium level induced by Alzheimer’s β-amyloid protein in long-term cultured rat hippocampal neurons

The neurotoxicity of β-amyloid protein (AβP) is implicated in the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease. We previously have demonstrated that AβP forms Ca(2+)-permeable pores on neuronal membranes, causes a marked increase in intracellular calcium level, and leads to neuronal death. Here, we investigated...
