Glucose Metabolism: A Sweet Relief of Alzheimers Disease.
ABSTRACT
Patients and individuals at risk for Alzheimer’s disease show reduced glucose metabolism in the brain. A new study takes advantage of a fly model of Alzheimer’s disease to demonstrate that enhancing glucose uptake in neurons has strong neuroprotective effects involving improved proteostasis.
