Abstract excerpt
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a nuclear hormone receptor, that is involved in lipid and glucose metabolism, which both seem to influence the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). 24S-Hydroxycholesterol is the major cholesterol elimination product of the brain and plasma and CSF 24S-hydroxycholesterol levels are altered in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. We investigated...
