Article Synopsis
  • Alzheimer's disease (AD) is more prevalent in women than in men, with factors beyond longevity, like metabolic changes, influencing this increased risk.
  • A study conducted metabolomic profiling of blood samples from male and female patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), revealing significant metabolic differences related to sex, particularly in lipid and peptide energy metabolism pathways.
  • The research identified specific metabolites unique to each sex, such as higher levels of 1-palmitoleoyl glycerol in females, suggesting these could be potential biomarkers to enhance our understanding of MCI and AD prevention strategies.

When required, imaging can aim for less invasive tissue or fluid sampling for pathology, microbiology, and molecular biology analysis.
