Abstract:Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) dysfunction has been recently recognized as a potential contributor to the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This study aimed to explore the relationship between VAT metabolism and cerebral glucose metabolism in patients with cognitive impairment. This cross-sectional prospective study included 54 patients who underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) brain and torso positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), and neuropsychological evaluations. VAT metaboli… Show more
