Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Epidemiological findings and experimental data on transgenic mice show that Alzheimer's disease-related changes render the brain more susceptible to ischemic damage. We studied whether the previously observed vulnerability in mice overexpressing the 751-amino-acid isoform of human amyloid precursor protein (APP751) is regulated by human apolipoprotein E (apoE) alleles, which determine the...
