TL;DR

Cerebral bioenergetic metabolic failure as a central driver of cognitive decline, arising from irreversible reactive gliosis and neuroblastosis mechanisms is emphasised and various therapeutic options are highlighted, including restoration of ANLS to mitigate the pathogenesis and memory loss in AD.

Disrupted astrocyte-neuron metabolic coupling in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterised by progressive loss of motor neurons. In addition to neurodegeneration, ALS is increasingly recognised as a disorder associated with widespread metabolic dysfunction, including hypermetabolism, weight loss, and dyslipidaemia, all of...

Roles of glycolytic and pyruvate metabolism enzymes in Alzheimer’s disease glycometabolic reprogramming and their therapeutic potential

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by cerebral glucose hypome-tabolism, an early hallmark through neuroimaging and neuropathological investigations. Previous researches have established the phenomenon of reduced glucose uptake. Building upon this established knowledge, the field is now increasingly focused on el...
