RT journal article T1 Mechanistic Insights into Alzheimer’s Disease Unveiled through the Investigation of Disturbances in Central Metabolites and Metabolic Pathways A1 González-Domínguez, Raúl A1 González-Domínguez, Álvaro A1 Sayago, Ana A1 González-Sanz, Diego A1 Lechuga Sancho, Alfonso María A1 Fernández-Recamales, Ángeles A2 Materno-Infantil y Radiología K1 central metabolites K1 Alzheimer's disease K1 mass spectrometry K1 central metabolic pathways AB Hydrophilic metabolites are closely involved in multiple primary metabolic pathways and, consequently, play an essential role in the onset and progression of multifactorial human disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. This review article provides a comprehensive revision of the literature published on the use of mass spectrometry-based metabolomics platforms for approaching the central metabolome in Alzheimer's disease research, including direct mass spectrometry, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry. Overall, mounting evidence points to profound disturbances that affect a multitude of central metabolic pathways, such as the energy-related metabolism, the urea cycle, the homeostasis of amino acids, fatty acids and nucleotides, neurotransmission, and others.
