Protection against APOE4-associated phenotypes with the longevity-promoting intervention 17α-estradiol in middle-aged male mice

Abstract excerpt

The apolipoprotein ε4 allele (APOE4) is associated with decreased longevity and increased vulnerability to age-related declines and disorders across multiple systems. Interventions that promote healthspan and lifespan represent a promising strategy to attenuate the development of APOE4-associated aging phenotypes. Here, we studied the ability of the longevity-promoting intervention 17α-estradiol (17αE2) to...
