  1. Acute exercise alters brain glucose metabolism in aging and Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 78 out of 100. The Journal of physiology 2024-09-11 Biomarkers

    There is evidence that aerobic exercise improves brain health.

  2. Rasagiline effects on glucose metabolism, cognition, and tau in Alzheimer's dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 74 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (New York, N. Y.) 2021-02-14 Brain scans and imaging

    These outcomes illustrate the potential benefits of rasagiline on clinical and neuroimaging measures in patients with mild to moderate AD.

  3. Glucose hypometabolism in temporoparietal lobes was significantly associated with altered EEG functional connectivity of the same regions of interest in clinically diagnosed MCI and AD patients and in patients with biomarker-verified AD pathology.

  4. Associations of [18F]-APN-1607 Tau PET Binding in the Brain of Alzheimer's Disease Patients With Cognition and Glucose Metabolism

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Frontiers in neuroscience 2020-06-30 Brain scans and imaging

    Molecular imaging of tauopathies is complicated by the differing specificities and off-target binding properties of available radioligands for positron emission tomography (PET). [ 18 F]-APN-1607 ([ 18 F]-PM-PBB3) is a newly developed PET tracer with promising properties for tau imaging.

  5. Relationships Between Tau and Glucose Metabolism Reflect Alzheimer's Disease Pathology in Cognitively Normal Older Adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Cerebral cortex (New York, N.Y. : 1991) 2019-05-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Tau is associated with hypometabolism in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

  6. Activation of brain glucose metabolism ameliorating cognitive impairment in APP/PS1 transgenic mice by electroacupuncture

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Free radical biology & medicine 2017-07-26 Biomarkers

    An essential feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is implicated in brain energy metabolic impairment that is considered underlying pathogenesis of cognitive impairment.

  7. Glucose metabolism in normal aging and Alzheimer's disease: Methodological and physiological considerations for PET studies

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Clinical and translational imaging 2013-08-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-dependent neurodegenerative disorder associated with progressive loss of cognitive function. 2-[ 18 F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has long been used to measure resting-state cerebral metabolic rates of glucose, a proxy for neuronal activity.

  8. Apolipoprotein E, not fibrillar β-amyloid, reduces cerebral glucose metabolism in normal aging

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2012-12-01 Brain scans and imaging

    The ε4 allele of the polymorphic apolipoprotein E gene is associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), deposition of β-amyloid (Aβ), and reduction in cerebral glucose metabolism in asymptomatic people.

  9. Covarying alterations in Aβ deposition, glucose metabolism, and gray matter volume in cognitively normal elderly

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Human brain mapping 2012-09-11 Brain scans and imaging

    β-Amyloid (Aβ), a feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, may precede reduced glucose metabolism and gray matter (GM) volume and cognitive decline in patients with AD.

  10. Blood pressure is associated with higher brain amyloid burden and lower glucose metabolism in healthy late middle-age persons

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2011-08-06 Brain scans and imaging

    Epidemiological studies suggest that elevated blood pressure (BP) in midlife is associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in late life.

  11. CSF Aβ₁₋₄₂ levels and glucose metabolism in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2011-01-01 Biomarkers

    Glucose dysmetabolism has been consistently associated with an increased risk of cognitive disorders, and brain insulin resistance could play a role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis.

  12. Cognition, glucose metabolism and amyloid burden in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2010-04-24 Brain scans and imaging

    The authors investigated relationships between glucose metabolism, amyloid load, and measures of cognitive and functional impairment in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  13. Voxel-based mapping of brain gray matter volume and glucose metabolism profiles in normal aging

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2007-07-13 Brain scans and imaging

    With age, the brain undergoes both structural and functional alterations, probably resulting in reported cognitive declines.
