Aβ kinetics in the CNS of twelve AD participants (red triangles) and twelve controls (blue circles). The amount of labeled Aβ42 and Aβ40 was measured and compared between groups to measure production and clearance rates of both Aβ species. (A) The average normalized labeled Aβ42 time course. (B) Aβ42 clearance rate during the clearance phase (hours 24–36). (C) Normalized labeled Aβ40 time course. (D) Aβ40 clearance in AD compared to controls. (E) The average fractional synthesis rates of Aβ42 and Aβ40 in AD participants and cognitively normal controls. (F) The average fractional clearance rates of Aβ42 and Aβ40.
