Researchers found that obesity raises levels of certain fat molecules (PEs) which can travel to the brain, disrupt its immune defenses, and promote harmful amyloid buildup, a key feature of Alzheimer's disease. Correcting this fat imbalance improved memory and brain function in Alzheimer's models. This study, led by Houston Methodist researchers, suggests a potential new target for Alzheimer's prevention or therapy.
