Lithium boosts neuronal bioenergetics in Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulations of amyloid beta and neurofibrillary tangles in brain tissue; however, AD is multifactorial and different etiopathogenic mechanisms involves that can affect mitochondrial function that are associated with AD. In the current study, we investigated the effect of lithium on mitochondrial function in AD.
