Oxidative metabolism

Abstract

There is a large body of evidence showing both metabolic defects and oxidative damage in Alzheimer's disease. Studies of cybrid cell lines show reduced cytochrome oxidase. There is also substantial evidence for a defect in alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. It is therefore possible that therapeutic strategies to improve brain metabolism or ameliorate oxidative damage might be useful in treating Alzheimer's disease.
