摘要:Amyloid-{beta} peptide (A{beta}) is central to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, and the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) has been shown to alter A{beta} metabolism in vitro. Here, we show that overexpression of a functional LRP minireceptor in the brain of PDAPP mice results in age-dependent increase of soluble brain A{beta
