The disclosure relates to methods and compositions for reducing memory loss. Specifically, methods of using inhibitors of GAT-3 polypeptide activity to reduce memory loss in mammals suffering from Alzheimer's disease (AD) are provided. Further provided are methods for identifying a mammal as having AD by detecting the presence of an elevated level of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) within a mammal's brain.
本公开涉及减少记忆丧失的方法和组合物。具体而言,提供了使用 GAT-3 多肽活性抑制剂减少患有阿尔茨海默病(AD)的哺乳动物记忆力减退的方法。此外,还提供了通过检测哺乳动物脑内γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)水平是否升高来确定哺乳动物是否患有阿尔茨海默病的方法。
