Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have suggested that increased opioid receptor κ1 (OPRK1) and opioid receptor δ1 (OPRD1) methylation levels are involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the present study, the methylation levels of two opioid receptor genes, opioid receptor µ1 (OPRM1) and opioid related nociceptin receptor 1 (OPRL1), were analyzed for their association with AD. Gene methylation levels were measured using bisulfite...
