Abstract

© 2016 Elsevier Ltd. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) increases the risk of neurodegenerative disorders many years post-injury. However, molecular mechanisms underlying the relationship between TBI and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), remain to be elucidated. Nevertheless, previous studies have demonstrated a link between TBI and increased amyloid-ß (Aß), a protein involved in AD pathogenesis. Here, we review animal studies that measured Aß levels following TBI. In addition, from a pool of initially identified 1209 published papers, we examined data from 19 eligible animal model studies using a meta-analytic approach. We found an acute increase in cerebral Aß levels ranging from 24 h to one month following TBI (overall log OR = 2.97 ± 0.40, p
