Increasing evidence implicates endothelial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Nitric oxide (NO) derived from endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) is essential in maintaining cerebrovascular function and can modulate the production and clearance of amyloid beta (Aβ). APPswe/PSdE1 (APP/PS1) mice display age-related Aβ accumulation and memory deficits. In order to make the model more clinically relevant with an element of endothelial dysfunction, we generated APP/PS1/eNOS Show less
