阿尔茨海默病(Alzheimer’s disease,AD)又称老年性痴呆,是一种与年龄相关的中枢神经系统退行性病变。南于其病因不明、发病机制复杂,在研究中缺乏统一、经典的疾病动物模型。本文就目前常用的AD动物模型进行综述,并根据其优缺点进行评价,以供研究者在选择合适的拟AD动物模型时参考。
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an important neurodegenerative disease. The complication of underlying pathological mechanisms restricts the study on animal models. Animal models play an important role in the study on AD. This paper reviews frequently used animal models and evaluate the advantages and shortcomings to provide some considerations for selecting a mouse model of AD.
