Antioxidant properties of HDL in transgenic mice overexpressing human apolipoprotein A-II

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2002
Transgenic mice overexpressing human apolipoprotein A-II (huapoA-II) display high VLDL and low HDL levels. To evaluate the antioxidant potential of huapoA-II enriched HDL, we measured the activities of paraoxonase (PON) and platelet-activating factor ...

Neuronal networks with coupling through amyloid beta: towards a theory for Alzheimer's disease [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common form of dementia observed in the elderly due to neurodegenerative disorder and dysfunction. This arises from alterations in synaptic functioning of neurons leading to cognitive impairment and memory loss. Recent experimental studies indicate that the amyloid beta (A beta) protein, in its dimer and oligomer forms ...

Human apoE3 but not apoE4 rescues impaired astrocyte activation in apoE null mice

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2003
The allele E4 of apolipoprotein E (apoE) is an important risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and the chronic brain inflammation which is associated with AD is more pronounced in subjects who carry this allele.

BACE1 in the retina: a sensitive biomarker for monitoring early pathological changes in Alzheimer′s disease

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2016
Because of a lack of sensitive biomarkers, the diagnosis of Alzheimer′s disease (AD) cannot be made prior to symptom manifestation. Therefore, it is crucial to identify novel biomarkers for the presymptomatic diagnosis of AD.
