Background and purpose
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE ε4) genotype and sex together on longitudinal change in adjusted hippocampal volume [hippocampal volume:intracranial volume ratio (HpVR)] across the Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum.
Methods
At baseline, we included 372 individuals with normal cognition (NC), 738 individuals with mild cognitive...
Apolipoprotein E was found to protect against the neurotoxic effects of a dimeric peptide derived from the receptor-binding region of this protein (residues 141–149). Both apoE3 and apoE4 conferred protection but the major N-terminal fragment of each isoform did not. Nor was significant protection provided by bovine serum albumin or apoA-I. Full-length apoE3 and apoE4 also inhibited the uptake of...
