A–F , Levels of apoE in plasma, CSF, and brain homogenates in PDAPP mice expressing human apoE at various ages. A , B , ApoE levels in plasma ( A ) and CSF ( B ) were significantly greater in PDAPP/TRE2 mice, whereas the levels of apoE were the lowest in PDAPP/TRE4 mice. C , D , Soluble levels of apoE in hippocampal ( C ) or cortical ( D ) homogenates were significantly greater in PDAPP/TRE2 mice at all ages examined, whereas the levels of soluble apoE were significantly lower in PDAPP/TRE4 mice. E , F , Insoluble levels of apoE measured in the hippocampus ( E ) were significantly lower in PDAPP/TRE4 mice at a young age. There was an age-dependent increase in insoluble apoE levels in hippocampus ( E ) and cortex ( F ) of PDAPP mice expressing one of the human apoE alleles.
