摘要

Exogenous lithium (Li) has mood-stabilizing and neuroprotective effects, but endogenous Li’s role in AD is unclear. Aron et al. found early endogenous Li deficiency in AD, which activates GSK3β, exacerbating AD pathology. Low-dose lithium orotate (LiO) protects against AD and age-related brain changes. Unresolved questions, like Li’s role in other brain diseases, need further study.
