Abstract excerpt
Alterations in lipoproteins are involved in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). For sporadic AD, the Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is recognized as a sole genetic risk factor. Apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1) has been suggested to bind amyloid β and promoter polymorphisms of the APOA1 gene were likely to affect the onset of the disease. Apolipoprotein D (APOD) expression is upregulating in AD brain and evidences...
