  1. Gastrodin and Gastrodigenin Improve Energy Metabolism Disorders and Mitochondrial Dysfunction to Antagonize Vascular Dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Molecules (Basel, Switzerland) 2023-03-13 Biomarkers

    Vascular dementia (VD) is the second most common dementia syndrome worldwide, and effective treatments are lacking.

  2. Mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease: Role in pathogenesis and novel therapeutic opportunities

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. British journal of pharmacology 2019-03-06 Genetics

    Dysfunction of cell bioenergetics is a common feature of neurodegenerative diseases, the most common of which is Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. Lipid- and receptor-binding regions of apolipoprotein E4 fragments act in concert to cause mitochondrial dysfunction and neurotoxicity

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 2005-12-12 Genetics

    Apolipoprotein (apo) E4, a 299-aa protein and a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, can be cleaved to generate C-terminal-truncated fragments that cause neurotoxicity in vitro and neurodegeneration and behavioral deficits in transgenic mice.
