  1. Apolipoprotein E in lipid metabolism and neurodegenerative disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Trends in endocrinology and metabolism: TEM 2023-06-24 Genetics

    Dysregulation of lipid metabolism has emerged as a central component of many neurodegenerative diseases.

  2. Lipid metabolism and Alzheimer's disease: clinical evidence, mechanistic link and therapeutic promise

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. The FEBS journal 2022-01-18 Genetics

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-associated neurodegenerative disorder with multifactorial etiology, intersecting genetic and environmental risk factors, and a lack of disease-modifying therapeutics.

  3. Genetic evidence for the involvement of lipid metabolism in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Biochimica et biophysica acta 2010-04-24 Genetics

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly and presents a great burden to sufferers and to society.

  4. Altered lipid metabolism in brain injury and disorders

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Sub-cellular biochemistry 2008-01-01 Genetics

    Deregulated lipid metabolism may be of particular importance for CNS injuries and disorders, as this organ has the highest lipid concentration next to adipose tissue.
