Abstract

Aged memory-impaired cynomolgus monkeys had significantly lower levels of cerebrospinal amyloid (Aβ42) and serum testosterone compared with young animals and non–memory-impaired controls. Our findings confirm similar findings in the human and substantiate the usefulness of the cynomolgus monkey as a spontaneous model for aging-associated senile dementia of the Alzheimer type.
