摘要

Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. We and others have shown that over expression of the mitochondrial antioxidant superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD-2) can improve many of the pathologies in the Tg2576 mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease that harbors the Swedish mutation in the amyloid precursor protein. However, it is not clear if these improvements are due to functional improvements or structural/anatomical changes. To answer this question, we used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to assess the structural integrity of white matter tracts in the control mice, Tg2576 mouse and Tg2576 mice over expressing SOD-2. We observed minimal differences in diffusion parameters with SOD-2 over expression in this model indicating that the improvements we previously reported are due to functional changes and not any alterations to the white matter tractography.
