Fine particulate air pollution and neuropathology markers of Alzheimer’s disease in donors with and without APOE ε4 alleles – results from an autopsy cohort
2023-04-07
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Introduction</h4> Higher fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) exposure has been found to be associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). PM 2.5 has been hypothesized to cause inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain, contributing to neuropathology. A major genetic risk factor of AD, the apolipoprotein E ( APOE ) gene, has also been hypothesized to modify the association between PM 2.5 and AD. However, little p...
