Metabolic Regulation as a Potential Therapeutic Approach for Alzheimer's Disease.

Lecanemab, a therapeutic antibody designed to target amyloid-beta (Aβ) clearance, has recently been approved by the FDA and introduced in multiple countries, representing a significant milestone in advancing Alzheimer's disease (AD) treatment. However, its limited clinical efficacy underscores the need for further investigation of disease pathogenesis. Emerging evidence suggests that glucose and lipid metabolism dysfunction plays a critical role in AD, with metabolic changes emerging as one of the most significantly altered pathways in the early stage of pathology. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting metabolic regulation as a strategy to address AD.
