Research Progress of Lipid Metabolism-Mediated Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's Disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease closely associated with age. The main clinical manifestations include cognitive impairment, including visuospatial ability, memory, language, and behavioral disorders. These manifestations considerably impair the patients' ability to perform daily activities. Although the pathogenesis of AD remains unclear, many studies have confirmed the essential role of abnormal lipid metabolism and inflammatory response in AD occurrence and progression. In this review, based on the relationship between lipid metabolism disorders and neuroinflammation, the regulatory mechanism of lipid mediators, and the role of microglia, we systematically discuss how lipid metabolism affects the pathological process of AD by regulating the inflammatory response.
