Alzheimer's disease, the primary cause of dementia, is characterized by neuropathologies, such as amyloid plaques, synaptic and neuronal degeneration, neurofibrillary tangles. Although plaques are characteristic disease in central nervous system peripheral organs, targeting amyloid-beta clearance has shown limited clinical efficacy treatment. Metabolic abnormalities commonly observed patients with disease. The liver organ involved metabolism, playing a crucial role pathophysiology Notably, impaired cholesterol metabolism may exacerbate development In this review, we explore underlying causes elucidate metabolism.

The gut-brain axis is implicated in depression development, yet its underlying mechanism remains unclear. We observed depleted gut bacterial species, including Bifidobacterium longum and Roseburia intestinalis, the neurotransmitter homovanillic acid (HVA) individuals with mouse models. Although R. intestinalis does not directly produce HVA, it enhances B. abundance, leading to HVA generation. This highlights a synergistic interaction among microbiota regulating intestinal production. Administering longum, or models chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) corticosterone (CORT)-induced significantly improved depressive symptoms. Mechanistically, inhibited synaptic autophagic death by preventing excessive degradation of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) SQSTM1/p62 proteins, protecting hippocampal neurons' presynaptic membrane. These findings underscore role microbial metabolism modulating integrity provide insights into potential novel treatment strategies for depression.

The metabolic implications in Alzheimer's disease (AD) remain poorly understood. Here, we conducted a metabolomics study on moderately aging Chinese Han cohort (n = 1397; mean age 66 years). Conjugated bile acids, branch-chain amino acids (BCAAs), and glutamate-related features exhibited strong correlations with cognitive impairment, clinical stage, brain amyloid-β deposition 421). These demonstrated synergistic performances across stages subpopulations enhanced the differentiation of AD beyond demographics Apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE-ε4).

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative that has become one of the main factors affecting human health. It serious impacts on individuals, families, and society. With development population aging, incidence AD will further increase worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests many physiological metabolic processes, such as lipid metabolism, are implicated in pathogenesis AD. Bile acids, undertakers play an important role occurrence disease. Tauroursodeoxycholic acid, endogenous bile been proven to possess therapeutic effects different diseases, including This review tries find relationship between acid metabolism AD, well explore potential taurocursodeoxycholic for this The mechanisms may include reducing deposition Amyloid-β protein, regulating apoptotic pathways, preventing tau hyperphosphorylation aggregation, protecting neuronal synapses, exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties, improving disorders. objective study shed light use tauroursodeoxycholic preparations prevention treatment with aim identifying effective targets clarifying various involved

The liver partakes as a sensor and effector of peripheral metabolic changes regulator systemic blood nutrient circulation. As such, abnormalities arising from dysfunction can influence the brain in multiple ways, owing to direct indirect bilateral communication between brain. Interestingly, altered bile acid composition resulting perturbed cholesterol metabolism influences inflammatory responses, blood-brain barrier permeability, neuron synaptic functions. Furthermore, acids produced by specific bacterial species may provide causal link dysregulated gut flora neurodegenerative disease pathology through gut-brain axis. This review will cover role acids—an often-overlooked category active metabolites—in development neurological disorders associated with neurodegeneration. Further studies into signaling insights novel treatments against disorders.

Growing neurochemical evidence highlights cerebral lipid dysregulation as a key factor in the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD). This review systematically explores dual roles species both normal behavioral regulation and MDD development. By critically examining recent literature, we classify these into two functional categories based on their neuroactivity: (1) neuroprotective lipids (sphingomyelin, cholesterol, cardiolipin, sphingosine, phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylserine), which exert effects by modulating membrane fluidity supporting synaptic vesicle trafficking; (2) neurotoxic (ceramides, phosphatidylinositol, phosphocholine, phosphatidylethanolamine), promote apoptotic signaling cascades disrupt mitochondrial bioenergetics. An unresolved but critical question pertains to maintenance homeostatic equilibrium between opposing classes. balance is essential, given significant impact protein localization function, monoaminergic neurotransmitter metabolism, energy homeostasis, redox neural circuits involved mood regulation. emerging framework positions lipidomics promising avenue for identifying novel therapeutic targets developing biomarker-based diagnostic approaches treatment.

Recent clinical studies have revealed that the serum levels of toxic hydrophobic bile acids (deoxy cholic acid, lithocholic acid [LCA], and glycoursodeoxycholic acid) are significantly higher in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) when compared to control subjects. The elevated may be result hepatic peroxisomal dysfunction. Circulating able disrupt blood-brain barrier promote formation amyloid-β plaques through enhancing oxidation docosahexaenoic acid.

The prodromal stage AD (pAD) refers to patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) evidence AD’s pathology. At this stage, disease-modifying interventions should be used prevent the progression dementia.
