Previous work using an AD transgenic model (APPswe/PS1A246E) with different TTR genetic backgrounds (AD/TTR) has demonstrated that Aβ1-42 plasma levels are increased in 7-month old TTR+/− female mice, when compared to TTR+/+ animals11, suggesting a role for TTR in Aβ peripheral clearance. Here, TTR is linked to Alzheimer disease.
