Insulin resistance can lead to neuronal damage and cerebral hypometabolism through different mechanisms including mitochondrial dysfunction, impairment of cerebral blood vessel function. In addition, insulin resistance is linked to amyloid and tau accumulation and neuroinflammation, the key mechanisms involved in Alzheimer disease and neuronal damage ...

The Common Alzheimer's Disease Research Ontology (CADRO) for biomarker categorization
Abstract Biomarkers are vital to Alzheimer's disease (AD) drug development and clinical trials, and will have an increasing role in clinical care. In this narrative review, we demonstrate the use of the National Institutes on Aging/Alzheimer's Association (NIA/AA) Common Alzheimer's Disease Research Ontology (CADRO) system for the categorization of ...
