ABSTRACT The apolipoprotein (APOE) gene has been studied due to its influence on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) development and work in an APOE mouse model recently demonstrated impaired respiratory motor plasticity following spinal cord injury (SCI). Individuals with AD often co-present obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) characterized by cessations breathing during sleep. Despite the prominence of genotype sex as factors progression, little is known about impact these variables control. Ventilation...
