Written by Taylor Woosley, Staff Writer. Results of this cross-sectional observational study using data from 164 subjects in the ADRC shows that preclinical AD status was most strongly associated with microbial pathways involved in arginine and ornithine degradation (P < 0.001), while the pathways most associated with healthy status was glutamate degradation (P < 0.001).
