After adjustment for education subjects with AD showed significantly higher levels of Hsp60 than aMCI (OR = 1.16, 95% CI 1.04-1.30) and controls (OR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.03-1.22), while Hsp70 was significantly higher only in AD (OR = 1.84, 95% CI 1.09-3.10) than controls.
This review analyses the connection between AD and molecular chaperones, with particular attention toward the most important heat shock proteins (HSPs) as representative components of the human chaperome: Hsp60, Hsp70 and Hsp90.
