Bioenergetics of neurodegeneration model (BEND model). An “energy deprivation” based model of Alzheimer's is proposed. The model states that known disease risk factors trigger molecular pathways, which leads to decrease in enzyme activities important in cellular energy generation. Energy defects can result in neuronal dysfunction/loss, BACE-1 induction and cognitive decline.
