“…Because aging itself is one of the major determinants of LOAD, many pathological events in LOAD are also part of the normal aging process (Mattson and Arumugam, 2018). Thus, LOAD appears to be characterized by a combination of several interacting pathological events that are closely related to changes with age and that include, among others, altered bioenergetic, metabolic, microvascular, and inflammatory processes (Wingo et al, 2012;Herrup, 2015;Amtul, 2016;Harrison and Owen, 2016;Stoeckel et al, 2016;de la Monte, 2017;Mastroeni et al, 2017;Mattson and Arumugam, 2018;Chow et al, 2019;Long and Holtzman, 2019) as well as abnormalities of cell membranes and membranous elements, including endosomes, ER, and mitochondria (Zubenko et al, 1984(Zubenko et al, , 1987Sihag et al, 1994;Wang and Zhang, 2021). Targeting and ameliorating even one of these major causative elements might reduce the occurrence or progression of LOAD.…”
