Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E (apoE, protein; APOE, gene) is expressed as three isoforms in humans (E2, E3, E4). The APOE-epsilon4 allele is associated with a poor outcome in patients after head injury of which ischaemic brain damage is a contributor of mortality and morbidity. The aim of the study was to determine whether mice expressing human APOE-epsilon4 displayed more extensive ischaemic neuronal damage 72 h after...
