Reviews
Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, Mark A. Lovell, University of Kentucky, USA
A review of current research that describes an association between aluminium (Al) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). A "historical perspective" that provides a comprehensive review of research in the area followed by an "informed opinion" that advances what remains to be learned about the association of Al and AD. The inclusion of a table of the main epidemiological studies of the last two decades along with design structure, diagnosis and association is particularly useful. This is a well written and, for the most part, balanced monograph describing current and past studies relating Al to the pathophysiology of AD. Attractively typeset and up-to-date this book would be a useful tool for researchers interested in chemistry and biochemistry of Al not only as it relates to neuron degeneration in AD but in other diseases as well.
