摘要: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition disturbing major brain networks, including those pivotal to the motor control of breathing. The aim this study was examine respiratory in TgF344-AD transgenic rat model AD. At 8-11 months age, basal minute ventilation and ventilatory responsiveness chemostimulation were equivalent conscious wild-type (WT) rats. Under urethane anesthesia, diaphragm genioglossus EMG activities similar WT duration phenylbiguanide-induced apnoea significantly shorter rats compared with WT. Following bilateral cervical vagotomy, intact Amyloid precursor protein C-terminal fragments elevated brainstem, absence amyloid-β accumulation or alterations tau phosphorylation. Brainstem pro-inflammatory cytokine concentrations not increased We conclude that neural breathing preserved at stage disease.
