The 3xTg-AD Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease Exhibits Lifelong Reductions in Circulating Choline Despite Adequate Dietary Intake, With Sex-Specific Neuropathological and Behavioral Phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tau tangles in the brain, neuroinflammation, and cognitive impairment. The 3xTg-AD mouse is a commonly used model in AD studies. 3xTg-AD males display inconsistent pathology; therefore, most studies utilize females. An understanding of why sexual dimorphism exists in this model is lacking. In humans,...
