Apolipoprotein E4 Influences Amyloid Deposition But Not Cell Loss after Traumatic Brain Injury in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
The epsilon4 allele of apolipoprotein E (APOE) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are both risk factors for the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). These factors may act synergistically, in that APOE4+ individuals are more likely to develop dementia after TBI. Because the mechanism underlying these effects is unclear, we questioned whether APOE4 and TBI interact either through effects on amyloid-beta (Abeta)...
