OBJECTIVE: Obesity is the top modifiable risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. We hypothesized that high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity alters brain transcriptomics in APOE-genotype and sex dependent manners. Here, we investigated interactions between HFD, APOE, and sex, using a knock-in mouse model of the human APOE3 and APOE4 alleles. METHODS: Six-month-old APOE3-TR and APOE4-TR mice were treated with either HFD...
