Longitudinal association between astrocyte function and glucose metabolism in autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease
4 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
The spatial resolution of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET does not allow the specific cellular origin of its signal to be determined, but it is commonly accepted that transport and trapping of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose reflects neuronal glucose metabolism. The main frameworks for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease suggest that hypometabolism measured with 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET is a biomarker of neuronal injury...
