Lipid Metabolism in Neurocognitive Disorders: Current Update

The physiology and the pathology of Central Nervous System (CNS) is very complex, only by understanding it scientific research might develop effective treatments. Neurocognitive Disorders, extremely diffused diseases, have a multifactorial aetiology, in which lipid homeostasis plays an important role, as known. aim this mini-review focus on interesting recently published researches topic, order to put together some pieces puzzle such enormous physiopathology chapter. After brief introduction, we will describe aspects CNS metabolism, then examine conclusions recent articles relating role neurodegeneration. literature has strengthened position well-known “biological agents” – i.e. peroxidation apolipoprotein E4 allele –but also detailed importance new promising diagnostic therapeutic targets.
