Increased soluble amyloid-β peptide and memory deficits in amyloid model mice overexpressing the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein
19 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
Amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta) is central to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, and the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) has been shown to alter Abeta metabolism in vitro. Here, we show that overexpression of a functional LRP minireceptor in the brain of PDAPP mice results in age-dependent increase of soluble brain Abeta, with no changes in Abeta plaque burden. Importantly, soluble brain...
