Abstract
⺠Brain metal content is a potential target for early diagnosis and treatment of AD. ⺠In the PSAPP mouse, iron was elevated in the cortex at the onset of plaque formation. ⺠The elevated iron was not associated with the amyloid plaques. ⺠Iron, copper, and zinc were not elevated in PSAPP plaques at time points up to 56 weeks. ⺠Only the zinc content was elevated at 56 weeks, representing a marker of late-stage AD.
