Sentences with phrase «disease model mice»

Abstract: We previously reported that neuroinflammation contributes to the amnesia of AβPPswe / PSEN1dE9 Alzheimer's disease model mice fed a high - fat diet to induce type - 2 diabetes (T2DM - AD mice), but the underlying mechanism for the memory decline remained unclear.
