Depression with melancholic features is associated with higher long-term risk f...
do Couto, FS; Lunet, N; Gino, S; Chester, C; Freitas, V; Maruta, C; Figueira, ML; de Mendonca, ABACKGROUND: Depression has been reported to increase the risk of subsequently developing dementia, but the nature of this relation remains to be elucidated. Depression can be a prodrome/manifestation of dementia or an early risk factor, and the effect may differ according to depression subtypes. Our aim was to study the association between early-onset depression and different depression subtypes, and the later ...
Decrease in APP and CP mRNA expression supports impairment of iron export in Al...
Guerreiro, C; Silva, B; Crespo, A; Marques, L; Costa, S; Timóteo, A; Marcelino, E; Maruta, C; Vilares, A; Matos, M; Couto, F; Faustino, P; Verdelho, AAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of still unknown etiology and the leading cause of dementia worldwide. Besides its main neuropathological hallmarks, a dysfunctional homeostasis of transition metals has been reported to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of this disease. Dysregulation of iron (Fe) metabolism in AD has been suggested, particularly at the level of cellular iron efflux...

Genetic and biochemical markers in patients with Alzheimer's disease support a ...
Crespo, A; Silva, B; Marques, L; Marcelino, E; Maruta, C; Costa, S; Timóteo, A; Vilares, A; Couto, F; Faustino, P; Correia, AP; Verdelho, A; Porto, GAlzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the elderly individuals, resulting from a complex interaction between environmental and genetic factors. Impaired brain iron homeostasis has been recognized as an important mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of this disease. Nevertheless, the knowledge gathered so far at the systemic level is clearly insufficient. Herein, we used an integrative ...
