  4. 2. The endocrine system in the progression of mild cognitive impairment to dementia

    Author : Patrick Quinlan; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Thyroid hormones; Insulin-like growth factor-I; Alzheimer’s disease; Vascular dementia; Mild cognitive impairment;

    Abstract : Background and aims: Endocrine alterations have been related to cognitive decline, but the role of hormones may vary along the progression to manifest dementia. The overall aim of this thesis was to assess whether thyroid hormones (THs) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are dysregulated around the onset of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD).
