Promoting and preventing alzheimer's disease in a transgenic mouse model: Apolipoprotein e and environmental enrichment

Besides age, inheritance of the apoE-E4 allele is the main risk factor for late-onset AD. To determine the role of apoE in amyloid deposition, we studied mice expressing both mutant human amyloid [beta]-protein precursor (APP) and presenilin 1 (PS1) that were either normal or knocked-out for apoE.
