Abstract excerpt
Recent studies of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) have shown increased oxidation of CSF lipoproteins in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, and neurotoxicity from oxidized CSF lipoproteins in culture. Since inheritance of different alleles of the apolipoprotein (apo) E gene is a risk factor for AD and apoE is the major lipoprotein trafficking molecule in brain, we hypothesized that apoE may modify the pathogenesis of AD...
