D, light orange background). Solid lines with triangle symbols, relative Aβ amounts removed by HexDC; dotted lines with cross square marks, relative Aβ amounts removed by PSf hemodialyzer; dashed lines with circle symbols, relative Aβ amounts decreased in the plasma.
Relative Aβ amounts removed by HexDC and PSf dialyzers (solid lines and dotted lines in Figure 13, respectively) increased time-dependently. This suggests that HexDC and PSf dialyzers had adequate Aβ adsorption capacity during the 4 and 8 h treatments. However, the changes were smaller in the latter half of the treatment than in the first half. The relative decreases in plasma Aβ (dashed lines under 0% in Figure 13) seemed to plateau afte
