Alpha-synuclein pathology alters lipids in mice and human cells

In mouse midbrain and cultured human neurons, alpha-synuclein pathology led to shorter, more saturated lipid chains, an effect largely reversed in mice by intermittent…In mouse midbrain and cultured human neurons, alpha-synuclein pathology led to shorter, more saturated lipid chains, an effect largely reversed in mice by intermittent fasting.

Longer chains in lipids were linked to aging in humans

An analysis of human lipids, molecules used in cell membranes, linked aging to longer fatty-acid chains and lower levels of shorter lipids.An analysis of human lipids, molecules used in cell membranes, linked aging to longer fatty-acid chains and lower levels of shorter lipids.

Myelin lipid buildup links to lysosomal defects in mice

Profiling lysosomal fractions from mouse cortex from 3 to 24 months revealed an accumulation of myelin-derived glycosphingolipids that was most pronounced in microglia.Profiling lysosomal fractions from mouse cortex from 3 to 24 months revealed an accumulation of myelin-derived glycosphingolipids that was most pronounced in microglia.

HDL particle sizes show contrasting links to dementia risk

In 23,790 older adults, higher small HDL levels tracked lower dementia risk (hazard ratios 0.89 to 0.91), while very large HDL tracked higher risk (1.10 to 1.14).In 23,790 older adults, higher small HDL levels tracked lower dementia risk (hazard ratios 0.89 to 0.91), while very large HDL tracked higher risk (1.10 to 1.14).
