Profile of cholesterol-related sterols in aged amyloid precursor protein transgenic mouse brain
Open accessAbstract
Cholesterol is implicated to play a role in Alzheimer disease pathology. Therefore, the concentrations of cholesterol, its precursors, and its degradation products in brain homogenates of aging wild-type and beta-amyloid precursor protein transgenic mice carrying the Swedish mutation (APP23) were analyzed. Among the sterols measured, lanosterol is the first common intermediate of two different pathways, which use either desmosterol or lathosterol as the predominant precursors for de novo synthesis of brain cholesterol. In young mice, cholesterol is mainly synthesized via the desmosterol pathway, while in aged mice, lathosterol is the major precursor. 24S-hydroxycholesterol (cerebrosterol), which plays a key role in the removal of cholesterol from the brain, modestly increased during aging. No differences in the levels of cholesterol, its precursors, or its metabolites were found between wild-type and APP23 transgenic mice. Moreover, the levels of the exogenous plant sterols campesterol and sitosterol were significantly elevated in the brains of APP23 animals at age 12 and 18 months. This time point coincides with abundant plaque formation.

Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“The gas chromatographic method used for cholesterol quantitation was sensitive enough to accurately determine the concentration of desmosterol (only at 7 and 14 days after birth), but not of other cholesterol precursors such as lanosterol, the detection of which at any age requires methods employing gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Lütjohann et al., 2002).”

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.
