From: Alterations in erythrocyte fatty acid composition in preclinical Alzheimer’s disease
Altered fatty acid levels in cognitively normal individuals with low and high NAL. Elevated erythrocyte arachidonic acid levels and decreased docosapentaenoic acid (n-3) levels were observed in individuals with high NAL (N = 35) compared to those with low NAL (N = 65), based on standard uptake value ratio cut off score of 1.35. Fatty acid concentrations were measured in arbitrary units (AU). ‘*’ represents p < 0.05, adjusted for covariates age, gender, years of education and APOE ε4 status; NAL: neocortical amyloid load measured via positron emission tomography, using ligand 18F-Florbetaben. The error bars represent SE.
