Sex-specific influences of APOEε4 genotype on hippocampal neurogenesis and progenitor cells in middle-aged rats by Bonnie H. Lee, Melike Cevizci, Stephanie E. Lieblich, Liisa A. M. Galea

“…This research investigates how these two risk factors might interact to influence biomarkers of brain health at middle age using a rat model. Compared to healthy controls, male rats with hAPOEε4 genotype showed reduced neural stem cell-like cells and new adult-born brain cells and increased microglia (marker of inflammation in the brain) at middle age. …”
