Effects of Pesticide Exposure on Neuroinflammation and Microglial Gene Expression: Relevance to Mechanisms of Alzheimer’s Disease Risk
2025-02-20
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the presence of amyloid-β plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and neuroinflammation. Previously, we reported serum levels of dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), the primary metabolite of the pesticide dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), were significantly higher in AD patients compared to age-matched controls and that DDT exposure worsened AD p...
