A Metallomic Approach to Assess the Associations between Plasma Metal Levels with Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer’s Disease: A Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Study
Abstract:BACKGROUND
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) involves the abnormal activity of transition metals and metal ion dyshomeostasis. The present study aimed to assess the potential of 36 trace elements in predicting cognitive decline in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) or AD.
METHODS
All participants (controls, aMCI, and AD) underwent baseline cognitive tests, which included the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and plasma biomarker examinations. We conducted a trend analysis for the cognitive tes… Show more
