Poor Glucose Metabolism Linked To Severity Of Symptoms In Patients With Alzheimer’s Disease

reported that a study by the National Institutes of Health found “glitches in the way the brain breaks down glucose – a process called glycolysis – seem to correspond with more severe symptoms in patients with Alzheimer’s.” According to Dr. Madhav Thambisetty, chief of translational neuroscience at the National Institute on Aging and lead researcher, said, “The main takeaway is that we seem to have identified a specific biochemical defect in the way the brain handles glucose in Alzheimer’s disease. More excitingly, it suggests that we can try and develop interventions that specifically target these errors in glycolysis.” https://mail.google.com/_/scs/mail-static/_/js/k=gmail.main.en.M-xhRWn0lp0.O/m=pds,pdl,pdit,m_i,pdt,t,it/am=74I9QN4PAS4zwCBKMwiz__OTS8OzN_v__wBAoALgG_Bv7gP4OAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCC4hM/rt=h/d=1/rs=AHGWq9DfTRmkZLQ5TZVzDRtkFZIKD0YOHQ
