This study investigated the changes in HIF-1α and BACE
levels in the presence of simvastatin under hypoxic conditions
in AD cybrid cells. In SAD cybrids, HIF-1α and
BACE levels decreased by 40–70 % with low-dose simvastatin;
however, high-dose simvastatin increased the expression
of HIF-1α and BACE up to 130 %. Aβ is derived
from β-amyloid precursor protein by proteolytic cleavage
