What was measured
What could work against Alzheimer's disease by targeting astrocytes: a review of mechanisms and the last five years of research, including palmitoylethanolamide as a possible disease-modifying approach.

What the authors reported

Palmitoylethanolamide can modulate astrocytes according to their morphological and functional state, the authors say, and they suggest this as a possible disease-modifying approach worth exploring. No study-level results or numbers are given in the abstract.

Limits of this study

A narrative review with no numbers. One author discloses a previous (2019 to 2020) work contract with Epitech Group, which makes ultramicronised PEA.
