New Research Reveals How Alzheimer's Disease Affects Multiple Body Systems
New research uncovers how Alzheimer's disease proteins impact aging, metabolism, and gut health, revealing systemic effects beyond the brain.
Research indicates that Alzheimer's disease impacts not only the brain but also influences aging, fat metabolism, and gut health. A recent study using fruit flies shows that proteins linked to Alzheimer's, such as amyloid-beta and tau, can accelerate biological aging and cause widespread effects on organs beyond the nervous system. The study uncovered mechanisms involving systemic inflammation, metabolic changes, and communication pathways between the brain and peripheral tissues. These findings suggest that Alzheimer's is a systemic disease with effects extending to various body functions, highlighting the importance of holistic approaches to understanding and potentially treating the condition.
