Explain how beta-amyloid protein levels increase in these patients' Multiple Choice The beta-amyloid proteins have a decreased rate of synthesis. The beta-amyloid proteins are not broken down and recycled. The beta-amyloid proteins have an increased rate of synthesis. The beta-amyloid proteins are secreted from the cell.

Explanation / Answer
