Squalene and sterol carrier protein: structural properties, lipid-binding, and function in cholesterol biosynthesis.

abstract：:Sex differences influence brain morphology and physiology during both development and aging. Here we apply a machine learning algorithm to a multiparametric brain PET imaging dataset acquired in a cohort of 20- to 82-year-old, cognitively normal adults (n = 205) to define their metabolic brain age. We find that throug...
