Bredesen's 3 types of Alzheimers
* **Inflammation or ‘hot’**: Associated with increased innate immune system activation, inflammation, pro-inflammatory microglia (M1) and reduced sirtuin (SIRT1) activity compared to NF kappa * **Atrophic or ‘cold’**: Loss of trophic support from neurotrophins such as brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). **Cortical or ‘toxic’**: Dr Bredesen considers this subtype to be associated with environmental toxins, leading to chronic inflammation and general brain atrophy.
