Perinatal lead (Pb) exposure and alterations to amyloid beta and metabolic profiles in the brain

Developmental neurotoxicant exposures (e.g., lead [Pb]) are suspected contributors to dementia. Dementia is characterized by amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques and dysregulated metabolism. To better understand the relationship between environment and dementia risk, we assessed the impact of perinatal Pb exposure on dementia‐rel...
