Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Insulin Resistance With Cerebral Glucose Uptake in Late Middle–Aged Adults at Risk for Alzheimer Disease
Auriel A. Willette,Barbara B. Bendlin,Erika J. Starks,Alex C. Birdsill,Sterling C. Johnson,Bradley T. Christian,Ozioma C. Okonkwo,Asenath La Rue,Bruce P. Hermann,Rebecca L. Koscik,Erin M. Jonaitis,Mark A. Sager,Sanjay Asthana +12 more
TL;DR: The results show that insulin resistance, a prevalent and increasingly common condition in developed countries, is associated with significantly lower regional cerebral glucose metabolism, which in turn may predict worse memory performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insulin Resistance is Associated with Higher Cerebrospinal Fluid Tau Levels in Asymptomatic APOEɛ4 Carriers.
Erika J. Starks,J. Patrick O’Grady,Siobhan M. Hoscheidt,Annie M. Racine,Cynthia M. Carlsson,Henrik Zetterberg,Henrik Zetterberg,Kaj Blennow,Kaj Blennow,Ozioma C. Okonkwo,Luigi Puglielli,Sanjay Asthana,N. Maritza Dowling,Carey E. Gleason,Rozalyn M. Anderson,Nancy J. Davenport-Sis,LeAnn DeRungs,Mark A. Sager,Sterling C. Johnson,Barbara B. Bendlin +19 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that IR may contribute to tau-related neurodegeneration in preclinical AD, and may have implications for developing prevention strategies aimed at modifying IR in mid-life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insulin Resistance is Associated with Increased Levels of Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers of Alzheimer’s Disease and Reduced Memory Function in At-Risk Healthy Middle-Aged Adults
Siobhan M. Hoscheidt,Erika J. Starks,Jennifer M. Oh,Henrik Zetterberg,Kaj Blennow,Rachel A. Krause,Carey E. Gleason,Luigi Puglielli,Craig S. Atwood,Cynthia M. Carlsson,Sanjay Asthana,Sterling C. Johnson,Barbara B. Bendlin +12 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that IR and APOEɛ4 are contributing factors to the development of AD pathology in midlife, and provide support for targeting insulin function as a potentially modifiable risk factor for AD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arterial spin labeling reveals relationships between resting cerebral perfusion and motor learning in Parkinson's disease.
Amy Barzgari,Jitka Sojkova,N. Maritza Dowling,Vincent Pozorski,Ozioma C. Okonkwo,Erika J. Starks,Jennifer M. Oh,Frances Thiesen,Alexandra Wey,Christopher R. Nicholas,Sterling C. Johnson,Catherine L. Gallagher +11 more
TL;DR: Evaluated regional differences in resting cerebral blood flow during a finger-typing task of motor skill acquisition in PD patients compared to age- and gender-matched controls suggest that higher rCBF within networks involved in motor learning enable PD patients to compensate for disease-related deficits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated Insulin and Insulin Resistance are Associated with Altered Myelin in Cognitively Unimpaired Middle-Aged Adults.
J. Patrick O’Grady,Douglas C. Dean,Kao Lee Yang,Cristybelle‐Marie Canda,Siobhan M. Hoscheidt,Erika J. Starks,Andrew P. Merluzzi,Samuel A. Hurley,Nancy J. Davenport,Ozioma C. Okonkwo,Rozalyn M. Anderson,Sanjay Asthana,Sterling C. Johnson,Andrew L. Alexander,Barbara B. Bendlin +14 more
TL;DR: The relationships between insulin, IR, and myelin were examined, with the hypothesis that IR would be associated with reduced myelin.
