Progressive dysfunction of the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway in the R6/2 mouse model of Huntington’s disease

We have recently reported significantly reduced levels of the mRNA of genes critical for the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway in the brains of mice and patients with Huntington’s disease (HD), which are indicative of a biological dysfunction. We here show that the brains of R6/2 transgenic mice have...
