The apolipoprotein {varepsilon}4 allele (APOE4) is associated with decreased longevity, increased vulnerability to age-related declines, and disorders across multiple systems. Interventions that promote healthspan and lifespan represent a promising strategy to attenuate the development of APOE4-associated aging phenotypes. Here we studied the ability of the longevity-promoting intervention 17-estradiol (17E2) to protect against age-related impairments in APOE4 versus the predominant APOE3 genotype using early middle-aged mice with knock-in of human APOE alleles. Beginning at age 10 months, male APOE3 or APOE4 mice were treated for 20 weeks with 17E2 or vehicle then compared for indices of aging phenotypes body-wide. Across peripheral and neural measures, APOE4 was associated with poorer outcomes. Notably, 17E2 treatment improved outcomes in a genotype-dependent manner favoring APOE4 mice. These data demonstrate a positive APOE4 bias in 17E2-mediated healthspan actions, suggesting that longevity-promoting interventions may be useful in mitigating deleterious age-related risks associated with APOE4 genotype.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
