“…Regarding the network analysis of AMPs altered in AD, our data give further evidence for the importance of inflammation and innate defense mechanisms in the development of the disease. Beside these general functions, alterations affecting protein post-translational modification, which might be related to hyperphosphorylation of tau (or of other proteins) ( Tan et al, 2015 ), ubiquitination ( Measho et al, 2018 ), glycosylation ( Wang et al, 2017 ), or citrullination ( Deolankar et al, 2019 ) of brain proteins characteristic of AD could be demonstrated. The dietary excess and impairment of lipid metabolism, along with insulin intolerance and the lack of neurotrophic factors, can lead to the cognitive decline characteristic of AD ( Schindowski et al, 2008 ; de la Monte, 2009 ; Allen et al, 2011 ; Hu et al, 2013 ; Dharshini et al, 2019 ; Mitra et al, 2019 ; Kellar and Craft, 2020 ).…”
