Liver dysfunction triggers early Alzheimer’s pathology in an adult rat model of chronic liver disease - Scientific Reports

Scientific Reports - Liver dysfunction triggers early Alzheimer’s pathology in an adult rat model of chronic liver disease

Did you know that your liver health could influence your brain?
Our latest study (From Liver to Brain) reveals a striking connection between liver dysfunction and cognitive decline, shedding light on its potential role in Alzheimer’s disease risk.

Key takeaway: Liver health isn’t just about metabolism - it may be a critical player in neurodegeneration.

These findings call for integrating liver function assessments and adopting a systemic approach into dementia diagnostics.

Let’s rethink brain health - it might start in the liver!
Could protecting your liver be one step closer to protecting your brain?
