Re: Rapamycin prevents age-related brain vascular deterioration in rats

I'm sorry, I forgot to note... I listened to a long podcast with Peter Attia in which he had Isaacson on, and in that podcast they briefly discussed statins as well, and they both agreed that for APOE4 carriers they aren't fans of using statins unless really necessary. If you all listen to Attia, it...

... my decent cholesterol numbers. To get back to the original topic, I also just recently joined this online group specifically to read more about rapamycin and whether its adviseable for APOE4 carriers.

Re: Rapamycin prevents age-related brain vascular deterioration in rats

I should also note that I am apoe3/4... my mother's family all have high cholesterol, several of her relatives are on statins. My mother refused statins and is the one who got alzheimers.

Re: Rapamycin prevents age-related brain vascular deterioration in rats
