Impact of aging on copper isotopic composition in the murine brain.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aging is the main risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD is linked to alterations in metal homeostasis and changes in stable metal isotopic composition can occur, possibly allowing the latter to serve as relevant biomarkers for potential AD diagnosis. Copper stable isotopes are used to investigate changes in Cu homeostasis associated with various diseases. Prior work has shown that in AD mouse models, the accumulation of 63Cu in the brain is associated with the disease's progression. However, our understanding of how the normal aging process influences the brain's isotopic composition of copper remains limited. In order to determine the utility and predictive power of Cu isotopes in AD diagnostics, we aim-in this study-to develop a baseline trajectory of Cu isotopic composition in the normally aging mouse brain. We determined the copper concentration and isotopic composition in brains of 30 healthy mice (WT) ranging in age from 6 to 12 mo, and further incorporate prior data obtained for 3-mo-old healthy mice; this range approximately equates to 20-50 yr in human equivalency. A significant 65Cu enrichment has been observed in the 12-mo-old mice compared to the youngest group, concomitant with an increase in Cu concentration with age. Meanwhile, literature data for brains of AD mice display an enrichment in 63Cu isotope compared to WT. It is acutely important that this baseline enrichment in 65Cu is fully constrained and normalized against if any coherent diagnostic observations regarding 63Cu enrichment as a biomarker for AD are to be developed.
