    Abstract

    Beta-amyloid (Abeta)likely plays a pivotal role in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Consequently, Abeta associated pathways are targets for the development of possible effective AD therapies. This review first updates strategies aimed at the inhibition of Abeta formation and then discusses the role of food-derived polyphenols as putative anti-amyloid drugs.
