Abstract:BackgroundMetabolic dysfunction and neuroinflammation characterize Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but it is unclear if these two facets of the disease are linked. The E4 allele of Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is the strongest genetic risk factor for late‐onset AD and is associated with increased neuroinflammation. Recent data from our lab and others show that E4 is also associated with increased aerobic glycolysis. These two findings may be intrinsically linked through the concept of ‘immunometabolism’ ‐ an emerging par… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
