Study: Low choline levels in obese young adults may raise Alzheimer’s risk

Low blood levels of choline, crucial for liver function and controlling inflammation, could be among the various ways through which obesity can speed up cognitive decline and increase the risk of Alzheimer`s disease, according to a study. Studies have found that high blood pressure is a risk factor for mild cognitive impairment, which usually precedes Alzheimer`s disease, in which speech and thought processes steadily decline with age. The researchers from Arizona State University said conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure and insulin resistance can strain the body`s blood vessels and metabolic systems, with stress building up over time speeding up cognitive decline and one`s risk of Alzheimer`s disease. The study, published in the journal Aging and Disease, looked at 30 young ...

It has approved GLP-1 therapies to treat obesity as a chronic, relapsing disease. GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of medicines that help lower blood sugar, support weight loss, reduce the risk of heart and kidney complications, and can even lower the risk of early death in people with type 2 diabetes. But the global demand for GLP-1 therapies has fueled the spread of falsified and substanda...
