Profile of cholesterol-related sterols in aged amyloid precursor protein transgenic mouse brain.

Abstract excerpt

Cholesterol is implicated to play a role in Alzheimer disease pathology. Therefore, the concentrations of cholesterol, its precursors, and its degradation products in brain homogenates of aging wild-type and beta-amyloid precursor protein transgenic mice carrying the Swedish mutation (APP23) were analyzed. Among the sterols measured, lanosterol is the first common intermediate of two different pathways, which use...
