The effect of age and obesity on platelet amyloid precursor protein processing and plasma markers of oxidative stress and inflammation.

CONCLUSIONS: The findings presented in this study provide evidence that blood-based biomarkers related to the pathology of AD are altered with age and obesity in otherwise healthy adults. Ageing was more strongly associated with elevated markers of oxidative stress whereas obesity was associated with elevated inflammatory IL-6. PMID: 31981682 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
