[1.2] [#Alzheimer’s disease] [#Porphyromonas gingivalis] [#Lipopolysaccharide] - intraperitoneally injection of P. gingivalis LPS led to a reduction in the expression of neprilysin in the hippocampus > lower levels of neprilysin have been associated with increased Aβ accumulation in ADReferences Notes[ ]
