iNOS knockout preserved brain perfusion despite MCI‐induced gut dysbiosis in an Alzheimer's mouse model
We observe that MCI patients had higher gut dysbiosis than HC. However, despite increased dysbiosis, iNOS-KO may preserve CBF and mitigate AD-like symptoms, highlighting its potential neuroprotective role in the 3xTg-AD model. Future studies should investigate the impact of iNOS-KO on mitigating AD pathology, such as amyloid-β and tau accumulation, or preserving cognitive functions. Our preliminary data shows that iNOS could be a potential target to ameliorate AD risk.
