Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder and a leading cause of dementia worldwide, which characterized by progressive cognitive decline, memory impairment, and changes in behavior and personality. The prevalence of AD is expected to rise significantly in the coming decades due to the aging population, making it a major public health concern. Mounting evidence suggests that metabolic dysregulation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of In this mini review, we provide an overview of the current understanding of the interplay between metabolism and AD. Specifically, we explore the dysregulation of glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and nitrogen oxide synthesis pathways in AD. These metabolic alterations have been identified as potential biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis of AD. Additionally, we discuss the current status of research in this field, including the advancements in metabolomics and imaging techniques that have allowed for the identification and validation of metabolic biomarkers.
