A new study by the CIBS team has revealed sex differences in brain oxidation, microglial activation, and immune system states.
Apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4) is the predominant genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). APOE4 mouse models have provided advances in the understanding of disease pathogenesis, but unaccounted variables like rodent housing status may hinder translational outcomes. This study examined the role of sterile and non-sterile food and housing on redox indicators and the immune status of humanized-APOE4 knock-in mice (hAPOe4).
