Butyrate regulates the blood-brain barrier transport and intra-endothelial accumulation of Alzheimers disease Amyloid-beta peptides

Vaishnavi Veerareddy, Zengtao Wang, Purna Kashyap, Karunya K. Kandimalla

This study shows butyrate reduces amyloid-beta 42 accumulation at the blood-brain barrier by activating insulin signaling pathways and improving BBB integrity.
