Effect of Vitamin E on Transcriptomic Alterations in Alzheimer's Disease.

Research into ageing is focused on understanding why some people can maintain cognitive ability and others lose autonomy, affecting their quality of life. Studies have revealed that age-related neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease (AD) are now major causes of death among the elderly, surpassing malignancy. This review examines the effects of vitamin E on transcriptomic changes in ageing and neurodegenerative diseases, using AD as an example, and how different transcriptome profiling techniques can shape the results. Despite mixed results from transcriptomic studies on AD patients' brains, we think advanced technologies could offer a more detailed and accurate tool for such analysis. Research has also demonstrated the role of antioxidant modifiers in preventing AD. This review will explore the key findings regarding AD and its modulation by vitamin E, emphasizing the shift in its epidemiology during the ageing process.
