Figure 2.

Effect of LPE on in vitro aggregation of Aβ_1–40 amyloid peptides. The effects of LPE on the fibrillation of Aβ peptides were measured by monitoring Th-T fluorescence emission. Aβ_1–40 (100 μM) incubated in 0.2 M phosphate buffer, pH 8.0, in the presence of increasing LPE concentrations for 24 h at 37 °C. Data are expressed as percentage vs. control samples (in absence of LPE) and interpolated by a nonlinear fitting in a hyperbolic function (r² = 0.995).
