Using a triple transgene model of AD including A-beta and tau pathology we found that treatement with the NSAID flurbiprofen produced reductions in elevated glutamine and protection of learning and tau pathology. There were significant correlations of glutamate values with learning and significant correlations of glutamine with histopathological markers of neurofibrillary tangles.
