O ferro é um mineral possivelmente envolvido na neuropatologia de Alzheimer. Foi descrito que ele se co-localiza com as placas amiloides e supostamente ligado ao processo patológico que leva à agregação da placa amiloide. Os níveis plasmáticos de ferro também foram associados positivamente à cognição dos idosos. Essas associações foram detectadas mesmo na ausência de anemia, na qual baixos níveis séricos de ferro podem levar a menores níveis de hemoglobina e possível hipóxia cerebral, porém, pode haver outros mecanismos. | |||

Iron is a mineral thought to be implicated in Alzheimer neuropathology. It has been found to co-localise with amyloid plaques and is thought to be implicated in the pathological process leading to amyloid plaque aggregation. Iron plasma levels have also been found to be positively associated with cognitive function in elderly individuals. These associations were detected even in the absence of anaemia, where low iron levels might lead to lower haemoglobin levels and possible cerebral hypoxia, consequently other mechanisms might also be at play. | |||
