Alterations in erythrocyte fatty acid composition in preclinical Alzheimer’s disease
Abstract Brain and blood fatty acids (FA) are altered in Alzheimer’s disease and cognitively impaired individuals, however, FA alterations in the preclinical phase, prior to cognitive impairment have not been investigated previously. The current study therefore evaluated erythrocyte FA in cognitivel...
