Inhibitory effects of plant sprouts' aqueous extracts (PSAE) on Aβ (1–42) concentration. Levels of Aβ (1–42) in mixtures (10 μM Aβ (1–42) 55 μL and PSAE 55 μL) were determined with human specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The mixtures (110 μL) were added to the microplate wells and then incubated at room temperature for 20 h. After 20 h incubation, Aβ (1–42) was analyzed with a commercial kit. Values are mean ± SD of the three measurements. ^∗∗∗ P < 0.001, ^∗∗ P < 0.01, and ^∗ P < 0.05 compared with the controls.
