Striatal infusion of cholesterol promotes dose‐dependent behavioral benefits and exerts disease‐modifying effects in Huntington's disease mice

Abstract A variety of pathophysiological mechanisms are implicated in Huntington's disease (HD). Among them, reduced cholesterol biosynthesis has been detected in the HD mouse brain from pre‐symptomatic stages, leading to diminished cholesterol synthesis, particularly in the striatum. In additi...
