The metabolic syndrome: a brain disease?
The incidence of obesity with, as consequence, a rise in associated diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia--the metabolic syndrome--is reaching epidemic proportions in industrialized countries. Here, we provide a hypothesis that the biological clock which normally prepares us each morning for the coming activity period is altered due to a modern life style of low activity duri...
متن کاملA Review of Neck Circumference As a Potent Anthropometric Predictor of Cardiovascular Disease and Metabolic Syndrome
Introduction: Obesity is considered to be a major risk factor for metabolic syndrome (MetS). The present study aimed to investigate the associations of neck circumference (NC) with cardiovascular diseases and MetS in adults. Methods: This review was conducted via searching in databases such as Medline, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar using various keywords, ...
متن کاملBrain metabolic and clinical effects of rivastigmine in Alzheimer's disease.
In-vivo metabolic measures with positron emission tomography using (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG-PET) have demonstrated hypometabolism in temporal, frontal, and hippocampal areas during the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Progression of the dementia in AD involves compromised cholinergic functioning. Cholinesterase inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy in improving cognition and behav...
متن کاملMetabolic brain networks in aging and preclinical Alzheimer's disease
Metabolic brain networks can provide insight into the network processes underlying progression from healthy aging to Alzheimer's disease. We explore the effect of two Alzheimer's disease risk factors, amyloid-β and ApoE ε4 genotype, on metabolic brain networks in cognitively normal older adults (N = 64, ages 69-89) compared to young adults (N = 17, ages 20-30) and patients with Alzheimer's dise...
متن کاملAlzheimer's disease: metabolic uncoupling of associative brain regions.
Evidence indicates that Alzheimer's disease (AD) causes functional disconnection of neocortical association areas. In midly demented AD patients without measurable neocortically-mediated cognitive abnormalities, positron emission tomography demonstrates reduced parietal lobe glucose metabolism and left/right metabolic asymmetries in neocortical association areas. Similar metabolic abnormalities...
