Expression of a truncated tau protein induces oxidative stress in a rodent model of tauopathy
1 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
Truncation of tau protein and oxidative stress have been implicated as important pathogenetic events in tauopathies including Alzheimer's disease (AD). We have generated a transgenic rat model that expresses a human truncated tau protein analogous to a variant form derived from sporadic AD. We employed this model to investigate the relationship between tau protein truncation and oxidative stress. We have found...
