kinetin and Alzheimer Disease

kinetin has been researched along with Alzheimer Disease in 5 studies

Kinetin: A furanyl adenine found in PLANTS and FUNGI. It has plant growth regulation effects.
cytokinin : A phytohormone that promote cell division, or cytokinesis, in plant roots and shoots.
kinetin : A member of the class of 6-aminopurines that is adenine carrying a (furan-2-ylmethyl) substituent at the exocyclic amino group.

Alzheimer Disease: A degenerative disease of the BRAIN characterized by the insidious onset of DEMENTIA. Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1049-57)
