Research Interests

Cognitive impairment and imbalance of energetic metabolism. (1) Dysfunction of formaldehyde metabolism and how it plays a role in the age-related cognitive impairments (Pre-MCI, MCI and AD). Attempt to clarify the mechanism of aldehyde-induced cognitive impairment; to establish aldehyde-induced cognitive impaired animal models including mouse, rat and monkey; and to design a new chemical method for diagnosis of age-related cognitive impairment. (2) Metabolic dysfunction of D-ribose and cognitive impairment for Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
