Influence of Water Quality on Cholesterol-Induced Tau Pathology: Preliminary Data
Table 1
Tau levels in plasma, whole hippocampus, and frontal cortex, and incidence and density of NFT-like AT8 immunoreactive neurons in the frontal and temporal cortices in rabbits grouped according to diet and water quality. The four groups of rabbits were female rabbits fed (1) normal rabbit chow and provided local tap water to drink (Normal chow-tap), (2) 1% cholesterol diet and distilled drinking water (1% Cholesterol-DW), (3) 1% cholesterol diet and copper supplemented distilled drinking water (1% Cholesterol-DW/Cu), or (4) 1% cholesterol diet and local tap water (1% Cholesterol-tap) for 5 months.
