CSF metabolites associated with biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease pathology

IntroductionMetabolomics technology facilitates studying associations between small molecules and disease processes. Correlating metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) CSF biomarkers may elucidate additional changes that are associated with early AD pathology and enhance our knowledge of the disease.MethodsThe relative abundance of untargeted metabolites was assessed in 161 individuals from the Wisconsin Registry […]
