A 1-year controlled trial of acetyl-l-carnitine in early-onset AD.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Many studies have examined the role of APOE genotype in the development of dementia, specifically Alzheimer disease (AD). The APOE epsilon4 allele (APOE4) is a risk factor for both clinical and neuropathologic AD whereas the APOE epsilon2 allele (APOE2) seems to be protective. This would predict, even with a...
