Abstract excerpt
Biochemical and genetic data suggest that the Apoa2c allele of the apolipoprotein A-II gene causes severe senile amyloidosis (AApoAII) in SAMP1, a mouse model for accelerated senescence. We analyzed the effects of replacement of Apoa2c in SAMP1 mice with non-amyloidogenic Apoa2b on amyloidosis, lipoprotein metabolism, and progression of senescence using a congenic strain, P1.R1-Apoa2b, which has the Apoa2b...
