Abstract
Patients with Alzheimer''s disease (A) and matched controls faster for 24 hours, and serial glucose, pyruvate, lactate, .beta.-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, insulin, and glucagon levels were measured. Patients with AD showed a glucose insulin correlation pattern over the 24 hours that differed from the control group. These differences may be secondary to weight loss or to other metabolic or nutritional factors affected the AD patients.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
