The antibiotic rifampicin likewise promoted Aβ42 clearance by induc- ing BBB-localized LRP1 and P glycoprotein 1 (REFS273,292) . PubMed:30116051

1,25(OH)2D3, the active form of vitamin D, plays a key role in enhancing transport of Aβ1–40 from the brain to the blood by reducing RAGE levels at the BBB, and also in contributing to periphery clearance by increasing levels of LRP1 both in vivo and in vitro (Guo et al. 2016b) PubMed:29626319
Oleocanthal, a special component of extra-virgin olive oil, increases cerebral clearance of Aβ across the BBB by enhancing the expression of important efflux transport proteins at the BBB containing LRP1 and P-gp, and activating the APOE-dependent Aβ clearance pathway in mice brains (Qosa et al. 2015) PubMed:29626319
GLUT1, glucose transporter expressed in the BBB, regulates LRP1-dependent Aβ clearance via increasing the expression of LRP1 PubMed:29626319
