Studies have shown in multiple models of Alzheimers
disease that deficits in fast axonal transport develop
before amyloid-beta plaque and tau deposition, with
oxidative stress being implicated in the process. Using
an APP/PSEN1 model of Alzheimers disease we demonstrate
via manganese enhanced MRI a deficit in the axonal
transport of this model. Additionally we show that these
deficits can be reversed with the administration of
nano-antioxidant PEG-ylated-hydrophilic carbon clusters.
