  1. Vitamin D is not associated with incident dementia or cognitive impairment: an 18-y follow-up study in community-living old men

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. The American journal of clinical nutrition 2017-02-15 Genetics

    The mean ± SD plasma 25(OH)D concentration was 68.7 ± 19.1 nmol/L. Plasma 25(OH)D, dietary vitamin D intake, and vitamin D-synthesis GRS were not associated with any cognitive outcomes (crude and adjusted HRs and ORs were ∼1.0 for all continuous exposures).

  2. Astrocytes from old Alzheimer's disease mice are impaired in Aβ uptake and in neuroprotection

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of disease 2016-08-17 Biomarkers

    In Alzheimer's disease (AD), astrocytes undergo morphological changes ranging from atrophy to hypertrophy, but the effect of such changes at the functional level is still largely unknown.
