Lo study identified a link between how cells produce energy for brain function and a genetic mutation associated with Alzheimer's disease. The discovery spurred further analysis of this link, which is seen as a fundamental and early factor in Alzheimer's disease in humans.
In the study, unfortunately still conducted in animals, the researchers analyzed the brains of young adults of zebrafish with early-onset disease-associated genetic mutations. The team used a state-of-the-art genetic technology and mathematical analyzes, to compare gene activity and detect subtle differences between normal and mutated fish.
While the researchers found that different mutations in different genes have many different effects on brain cell function, they also found that the Alzheimer's disease mutations affect cellular function very important: theuse of oxygen within cells for energy.
This is a very interesting finding because you may know that when Alzheimer's develops, people's brains become severely deficient in energy production. Brains are made up of many different types of cells, which have complicated ways of producing and sharing energy. The research team now wants to examine how Alzheimer's disease mutations affect these different cell types.
So, the energy production is the most important cellular activity which supports all other functions, particularly in highly active organs such as the brain; Consequently, if research could understand in detail what happens with oxygen use and energy production, ways to stop the disease before it begins, to the benefit of the aging population, could be identified.
