They attack the amyloid as it clumps together.

它们聚集在一起时会攻击淀粉样蛋白。

Look at the texture -- the amyloid plaques.

太恶。

It, too, targets amyloid plaques in the brain.

它针对的也是大脑中的淀粉样斑。

Amyloid alone does not cause Alzheimer's.

单独的淀粉样蛋白不会引起阿尔茨海默氏症。

Those are the two best at finding amyloid.

这两种测试是发现淀粉样蛋白的最佳方法。

Patients were also switched to inactive substances if enough amyloid cleared out.

如果清除足够多的淀粉样蛋白，患者也会用非活性物质。

That's where Alzheimer's patients have a buildup of toxic proteins called amyloid.

在这个部分，阿尔茨海默病患者积累一种叫做淀粉样蛋白的有毒蛋白质。

Amyloid plaque seems to be kind of choking the neurons ability to utilize glucose.

淀粉样斑块似乎抑制神经元利用葡萄糖的力。

Higher deposition of amyloid goes hand-in-hand trade loss of function in Alzheimer's disease.

淀粉样蛋白的高度沉积与阿尔茨海默病患者的功密切相关。

So the idea is that if tests show you have brain amyloid, you could take drugs that help, right?

这个想法是，如果测试显示大脑中有淀粉样蛋白，那么你便可以服用有用的药物，对吗?

The drugs target a protein buildup, called beta amyloid, in the brain of Alzheimer's patients.

这些药物针对的是阿尔茨海默病患者大脑中一种被称为β淀粉样蛋白的蛋白质堆积。

Having amyloid positive does not mean that you are going to get Alzheimer's disease.

淀粉样蛋白呈阳性并不意味着患有阿尔茨海默病。

So these new blood tests can detect amyloid, but they don't necessarily mean you're going to get Alzheimer's.

这些新血液测试可以检测出淀粉样蛋白，但这并不一定说明患有阿尔茨海默病。

The new technique looks for protein called amyloid beta that associated with the condition. Our health correspondent James Galiga reports.

这项技术是要寻找一个被称为淀粉状β肽的蛋白质，该物质与阿尔兹海默病有关。以下是我台医疗记者吉姆斯·加里盖的报道。

I want to be able to image amyloid plaque.

我希望够对淀粉样斑块进行成像。

So the drug both cleans up amyloid and may help with cognitive problems, at least for a little while.

这种药物既可以清除淀粉样蛋白，又可以帮助解决认知问题，至少在一段时间内是这样。

So what are the things that influence those amyloid plaque levels?

那么影响这些淀粉样蛋白斑块水平的因素是什么？

The areas that are blue are essentially little amyloid protein deposits.

蓝色区域基本上是少量淀粉样蛋白沉积物。

A calorie-controlled diet also protected neurons against the build-up of amyloid plaques.

控制卡路里的饮食还可以保护神经元免受淀粉样蛋白斑块的形成。

Plaques are insoluble deposits of a peptide called amyloid beta, or Abeta.

斑块是一种称为淀粉样蛋白 β 或 Abeta 的肽的不溶性沉积物。
