Abstract
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) has a pivotal role in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) pathophysiology. APOE4 has been recognized as a risk factor for developing late-onset AD. Recently, APOE4 homozygosity was regarded as a new familial genetic trait of AD. In this opinion paper, we summarized the potential pleiotropic antagonism role of APOE4 in children living under early life adversity and afflicted with enteric infection/malnutrition-related pathogenic exposome. APOE4 was found to be neuroprotective early in life despite its increasing risk for AD with aging. We call for awareness of the potential burden this can bring to the public health system when APOE4 carriers, raised under adverse environmental conditions in early life and then aging with unhealthy lifestyles in later life may be at special risk for cognitive impairments and acquired AD. We postulate the importance of anti-senescence therapies to protect these individuals and remediate aging-related chronic illnesses.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Nutrition ESPEN is an electronic-only journal and is an official publication of the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN). Nutrition and nutritional care have gained wide clinical and scientific interest during the past decades. The increasing knowledge of metabolic disturbances and nutritional assessment in chronic and acute diseases has stimulated rapid advances in design, development and clinical application of nutritional support. The aims of ESPEN are to encourage the rapid diffusion of knowledge and its application in the field of clinical nutrition and metabolism. Published bimonthly, Clinical Nutrition ESPEN focuses on publishing articles on the relationship between nutrition and disease in the setting of basic science and clinical practice. Clinical Nutrition ESPEN is available to all members of ESPEN and to all subscribers of Clinical Nutrition.
