Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotype is a significant risk factor for the development of Alzheimer disease (AD) and the ApoE protein is associated with senile plaques (SP) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), the pathological lesions of AD. Despite this data, the relevance of ApoE to the disease pathogenesis is unknown. In this study we sought to understand the role that ApoE protein could play in the pathogenesis of...
