Human Apolipoprotein E4 Worsens Acute Axonal Pathology but Not Amyloid-β Immunoreactivity After Traumatic Brain Injury in 3×TG-AD Mice
12 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) genotype is a risk factor for poor outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI), particularly in young patients, but the underlying mechanisms are not known. By analogy to effects of APOE4 on the risk of Alzheimer disease (AD), the APOE genotype may influence β-amyloid (Aβ) and tau deposition after TBI. To test this hypothesis, we crossed 3xTG-AD transgenic mice carrying 3 human familial...
