Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma) has been described to have a role in the modulation of various genes involved in Abeta homeostasis, inflammation, and energy metabolism, making it a candidate gene for risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A functional polymorphism in exon 2 of the PPAR-gamma gene has been related to AD, but the effects are inconsistent across studies. To determine the...
