Abstract

Endogenous metals may contribute to the accumulation of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease. To specifically examine the role of synaptic zinc in the plaque accumulation, Tg2576 (also called APP2576) transgenic mice ( hAPP + ) expressing cerebral amyloid plaque pathology were crossed with mice lacking zinc transporter 3 ( ZnT3 −/− ), which is required for zinc transport into synaptic vesicles. With aging, female hAPP + : ZnT3 +/+ mice manifested higher levels of synaptic zinc, insoluble amyloid β, and plaques than males; these sex differences disappeared in hAPP + : ZnT3 −/− mice. Both sexes of hAPP + : ZnT3 −/− mice had markedly reduced plaque load and less insoluble amyloid β compared with hAPP + : ZnT3 +/+ mice. Hence, of endogenous metals, synaptic zinc contributes predominantly to amyloid deposition in hAPP + mice.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
