This table displays the glycolysis changes seen in each of the 3 neurodegenerative diseases reviewed in this Article and cell types that the glycolysis change was seen in. The table displays enzyme changes and the number of cell lines in each article. Abbreviations: sAD sporadic Alzheimer’s disease, fAD familial Alzheimer’s disease, sPD sporadic Parkinson’s disease, sALS sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral sclerosis, RBC Red blood cells, PFK phosphofructokinase HK Hexokinase, PDK pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, LDH Lactate dehydrogenase kinase. ↑ indicates and increase, ↓ indicates a decrease, and (-) indicates no change.
