Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several positron emission tomography (PET) studies have explored the relationship between amyloid-β (Aβ), glucose metabolism, and the APOEɛ4 genotype. It has been reported that APOEɛ4, and not aggregated Aβ, contributes to glucose hypometabolism in pre-clinical stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesize that typical measurements of Aβ taken either from composite...
