| Sumario: | With an increasing aging population, Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become a social and economic problem to societies worldwide, affecting millions of people. However, pathophysiological events associated with AD are not well elucidated yet, and current definitive diagnosis is only obtained after death through examination of brain tissue. In the last years, Metabolomics has been demonstrated to provide deep insights into the full complexity of the disease phenotype and has been established as a promising approach to provide disease-specific metabolite signatures. The incipient application of Metabolomics may potentially contribute in the elucidation of AD physiopathological processes and ideally may offer therapeutic/preventing mechanisms to slow or reverse AD progress. In this chapter, nontargeted metabolomic approaches applied to AD investigation are described. © 2014 Elsevier B.V. |
