Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is closely associated with significant defects in glucose metabolism. To investigate whether AD pathology induced by overexpression of human mutant presenilin 2 (PS2) protein induces changes in glucose metabolism, glucose‑related factors were analyzed in the brain of 12‑month‑old neuron‑specific enolase (NSE)/hPS2m transgenic (Tg) mice. NSE/hPS2m Tg mice used in this study showed AD‑like...
