Lipids in Alzheimer’s disease: A century-old story
Abstract
Three neuropathological features attracted the attention of Alzheimer in his examination of the brain of Auguste Deter: abnormal fibrillary structures, cortical depositions now termed "plaques," and glial proliferation, whereby he noted remarkable lipid granule accumulation in the glia. These features were also recorded by Perusini and Kraepelin, but by 1930 the lipoid deposits were no longer regarded by neuropathologists with great interest.

“Since LD accumulation is a component of AD [67,68], and there are reduced levels of LPL in the dentate gyrus of patients with AD [27], it is plausible that reduced LPL in AD could contribute to LDAM physiology, increased CE load, microglial dysfunction, and disease progression.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
