Scientists Discover How Obesity May Trigger Alzheimer’s Disease
Obesity may worsen Alzheimer’s disease through fat molecules that send harmful signals to the brain, but targeting those molecules could offer a new path for intervention. Alzheimer’s disease is often viewed as a disorder that begins and ends in the brain. But growing evidence suggests the disease may also be shaped by what happens throughout [...]
Researchers at Houston Methodist have identified a molecular mechanism linking obesity to the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The discovery may open new avenues for interventions and treatments. The study revealed that phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs), a type of fat molecule, play a crucial role in the connection between obesity and Alzheimer's. The research found that obesity increases PE levels in body tissues, which are transported to the …
