Abstract

It is frequently argued that both amyloid beta (Abeta) and oxidative stress are involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We show here that clonal nerve cell lines and primary cortical neurons that are resistant to Abeta toxicity have an enhanced flux of glucose through both the glycolytic pathway and the hexose monophosphate shunt. AD brain also has increased enzymatic activities in both pathways relative to age-matched controls. The Abeta-induced changes in glucose metabolism are due to the activation of the transcription factor hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1). As a result of Abeta-induced changes in glucose metabolism, Abeta-resistant cells are more readily killed by glucose starvation and by classes of antipsychotic drugs that inhibit glucose uptake.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The authors' results support the increase in glycolytic enzymes observed in frontal cortex lysate of AD patients and in glial cells after treatment with AD plasma.

    “These results support the increase in glycolytic enzymes that has been observed in the frontal cortex lysate of AD patients as well as glial cells after treatment with AD plasma [25,26].”

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.
