A Review of Mechanistic Links Between Obesity and Alzheimer's Disease (opens in new tab)

Researchers have in recent years undertaken considerable effort to demonstrate that the biochemistry of obesity overlaps with the biochemistry of Alzheimer's disease. Setting aside motivations relating to linking two large pools of research funding (obesity researchers would love to be able to write Alzheimer's grants, and vice versa), it is certainly possible to point to a great many interesting findings in this context: circulating choline; microglial lipid accumulation; changes in extracel...
