Abstract:<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is reduced in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Flow-mediated dilation (FMD), which plays a key role in the regulation of blood flow, is attenuated by endothelin-1. We hypothesized that endothelin receptor blockade may improve CBF in AD. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We investigated cerebrovascular reactivity in a mouse model of AD (APP-PS1; 5-6-month-old male subjects). We assessed the in vivo response to norm… Show more
