APOE and Mental deterioration: The concept of hypercholesterolemia-associated neuro-inflammation was recently investigated in aged hypercholesterolemic ApoE-/- mice where choroid plexus lipid accumulation induced leukocyte infiltration that extended to the adjacent brain parenchyma, demonstrating that lipid-triggered complement cascade activation promotes leukocyte infiltration into the choroid plexus with implications for immune system activation, cognitive decline in late onset AD and atherosclerotic plaque formation52.
