Links between copper and cholesterol in Alzheimer’s disease
Altered copper homeostasis and hypercholesterolemia have been identified independently as risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Abnormal copper and cholesterol metabolism are implicated in the genesis of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), which are two key pathological signatur...
