Closed-head injury produces a delayed, region-specific defect in glucose-carbon routing at the pyruvate branchpoint in APP/PS1 KI mice

Elika Z. Moallem, Ronald C. Bruntz, MaKayla F. Cox…·Adam D. Bachstetter

The paper investigates delayed glucose metabolism changes in APP/PS1 KI mice after closed-head injury, finding increased pyruvate and lactate labeling in cortex and hippocampus 8 months post-injury.
