Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein ε4 (APOE4) carriers develop brain metabolic dysfunctions decades before the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A goal of the study is to identify if rapamycin, an inhibitor for the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, would enhance synaptic and mitochondrial function in asymptomatic mice with human APOE4 gene (E4FAD) before they showed metabolic deficits. A second goal is to determine...
