Introduction: Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease characterized by multiple progressive stages, glucose metabolic dysregulation, Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, and inexorable cognitive decline. Discovery of metabolic profiles unique to sex, apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype, and stage of disease progression could provide critical insights for personalized LOAD medicine.
Methods: Sex- and APOE-specific metabolic networks were constructed based on changes in 127 metabolites of 656 serum samples from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative cohort.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) is a kind of pattern recognition receptor which widely exists on the cell membrane. It is a natural immune system component which can regulate the inflammatory response of the body participating in the signal transduction of cells and play an important role in the endogenous immune response. But the excessive inflammatory reaction initiated by TLRs can make the immune function of the body unbalanced and damage the function of many organs.
