Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The 5-lipoxygenase (5LO) enzymatic pathway is widely distributed within the central nervous system. Previous works showed that this protein is up-regulated in Alzheimer's disease (AD), and that its genetic absence results in a reduction of Amyloid beta (Aβ) levels in the Tg2576 mice.Here by employing an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector system to over-express 5LO in the same mouse model, we examined...
