Overview

D. Allan Butterfield is a researcher affiliated with the University of Kentucky in the United States. Their work spans multiple disciplines within medicine and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with significant contributions in the study of neurodegenerative diseases and molecular mechanisms related to brain health.

The primary focus areas of Butterfield's research include Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, extracellular vesicles in disease, mitochondrial function and pathology, biochemical effects in animals, down syndrome and intellectual disability research, cholinesterase and neurodegenerative diseases, and heme oxygenase-1 and carbon monoxide.

Their publications have appeared predominantly in several key scientific venues. The most frequent publication venues include Free Radical Biology and Medicine, Antioxidants, Neurobiology of Disease, Alzheimer's & Dementia, and Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry.

Butterfield's recent papers include:

  • "Apolipoprotein E and oxidative stress in brain with relevance to Alzheimer's disease" (2020, Neurobiology of Disease)
  • "Oxidative damage in neurodegeneration: roles in the pathogenesis and progression of Alzheimer disease" (2023, Physiological Reviews)
  • "The interplay among oxidative stress, brain insulin resistance and AMPK dysfunction contribute to neurodegeneration in type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer disease" (2021, Free Radical Biology and Medicine)
  • "Insufficient Sun Exposure Has Become a Real Public Health Problem" (2020, International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health)
  • "mTOR in Alzheimer disease and its earlier stages: Links to oxidative damage in the progression of this dementing disorder" (2021, Free Radical Biology and Medicine)

Butterfield frequently collaborated with several coauthors over their career, which include Marzia Perluigi, Fabio Di Domenico, Luksana Chaiswing, Eugenio Barone, and Subbarao Bondada. These collaborations have contributed to advancing research in oxidative stress, neurodegeneration, and molecular biology related to neurodegenerative disorders.
