Int J Obes (Lond). 2021 Mar;45(3):631-638. doi: 10.1038/s41366-020-00727-9. Epub 2021 Jan 27.

INTRODUCTION: Subjects with obesity have metabolic risk factors for nerve fibre damage. Because bariatric surgery improves these risk factors we have assessed whether this can ameliorate nerve fibre damage.METHODS: Twenty-six obese subjects without diabetes (age: 46.23 ± 8.6, BMI:...

Pathological hyperphosphorylated tau is a key feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Using transgenic mice overexpressing human non-mutated tau (htau mice), we assessed the contribution of tau to peripheral and central neurodegeneration. Indices of peripheral small...
