Grant Activity:
The interactive effects of dietary saturated fat and apolipoprotein-E genotype on peripheral metabolism of lipoprotein-amyloid and neurovascular integrity.
Purpose:
This project is based on a remarkable discovery which suggests that in some individuals, Alzheimer's disease may be a consequence of corruption of microscopic blood vessels that supply brain, damaged as a consequence of exaggerated exposure in blood to a protein produced principally in liver. The project will explore this pathway further in subjects at heightened risk of Alzheimer's disease and in humanised animal models. The findings may provide new opportunities for prevention and treatment.
