LITERATURE
NEP2 expression is measured in non-impaired, mild cognitive impaired, and clinical Alzheimer's disease human brain tissue from two Alzheimer's disease -susceptible and two resistant regions. NEP2 and NEP mRNA expression is altered in mild cognitive impaired subjects relative to non-impaired subjects in Alzheimer's disease -susceptible regions. NEP2 enzymatic activity is lowered in association with mild cognitive impaired and Alzheimer's disease and is positively associated with cognitive function, independent of diagnostic category
-
the altered enzyme expression has a sexually dimorphic change, with mild-cognitive impaired males having significantly elevated NEP2 mRNA levels compared to non-impaired males in the mid-temporal and mid-frontal gyri
