This research aims to investigate the distribution and changes of APP in ischemic brain injury related to Alzheimer's disease.
Used rats with reversible occlusions of the middle cerebral artery to induce ischemic conditions.
Examined APP reactivity in astrocytes, axons, and neurons in various brain regions.
Included analysis of partial forebrain ischemia via bilateral carotid occlusion.
APP reactivity significantly increased in astrocytic processes and dystrophic axons in the cortex and hippocampus.
Similar changes in APP accumulation were observed under chronic hypoperfusion conditions.
Findings suggest a potential relationship between ischemic events and beta amyloid deposition in Alzheimer’s disease.
