Abstract excerpt
We wished to determine the influence of the apolipoprotein E (Apo-E) genotype on the loss of high affinity nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) binding in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The interaction between epsilon4 allele gene dose and cholinergic loss in AD remains controversial. We have demonstrated that nicotinic binding is significantly lost in AD. Tissue from the midfrontal (MF) cortex of 7 subjects with...
