Sex and menopause impact 31P-Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy brain mitochondrial function in association with 11C-PiB PET amyloid-beta load - Scientific Reports
Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-26573-5
Increasing evidence implicates sex and endocrine aging effects on brain bioenergetic aging in the greater lifetime risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in women. We conducted 31Phosphorus Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (31P-MRS)...
Conclusions: The present 31P-MRS study of middle-aged individuals at risk for AD indicates sex differences in brain metabolic function of AD-vulnerable regions during midlife endocrine aging. Such changes may increase susceptibility to AD in women and provide a window of opportunity for precision medicine based preventative strategies.
