Abstract excerpt
The epsilon4 allele of apolipoprotein E (apo E) is increased among patients with sporadic or familial Alzheimer's disease (AD). We examined platelet phospholipase C (PLC)-delta1 activity in AD patients either homozygous for apoepsilon3 or having at least one apo epsilon4 allele. We found that platelet PLC-delta1 activity is reduced from control levels in patients homozygous for apo epsilon3, but not changed in...
