Liraglutide Has Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Amyloid Properties in Streptozotocin-Induced and 5xFAD Mouse Models of Alzheimer's Disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of an anti-diabetic drug, liraglutide (LIR), in reversing major pathological hallmarks in the prodromal disease stage of both the 5xFAD transgenic and SAD mouse models of AD were explored.

L-norvaline reverses cognitive decline and synaptic loss in a murine model of Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: These findings associate local amyloid-beta-driven and immune-mediated response with altered L-arginine metabolism and suggest that arginase and S6K1 inhibition by L-norvaline can delay progression of AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Moracin derivatives from Morus Radix as dual BACE1 and cholinesterase inhibitors with antioxidant and anti-glycation capacities

TL;DR: In vitro and in silico results provide valuable information for the design of anti‐AD drugs and enzyme kinetic and molecular docking studies demonstrated that moracin S is a potent, competitive BACE1 inhibitor that could interact with key catalytic aspartyl residues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Traffic-Related Air Pollution and Incident Dementia: Direct and Indirect Pathways Through Metabolic Dysfunction.

TL;DR: Exposure to local traffic-related air pollution is associated with incident dementia and 20% of this effect is mediated through type 2 diabetes, and ambient air pollution might affect brain health via direct damage as well as through indirect pathways related to diabetes and metabolic dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fasudil hydrochloride ameliorates memory deficits in rat model of streptozotocin-induced Alzheimer's disease: Involvement of PI3-kinase, eNOS and NFκB.

TL;DR: In STZ‐ICV rat model of AD, fasudil (Rho‐kinase inhibitor) ameliorated the AD symptoms by reinstating PI3‐kinases mediated upregulation of eNOS and control over brain NF&kgr;B activity.

Akt Promotes Cell Survival by Phosphorylating and Inhibiting a Forkhead Transcription Factor

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Akt also regulates the activity of FKHRL1, a member of the Forkhead family of transcription factors, which triggers apoptosis most likely by inducing the expression of genes that are critical for cell death, such as the Fas ligand gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Akt Phosphorylation of BAD Couples Survival Signals to the Cell-Intrinsic Death Machinery

TL;DR: It is shown that growth factor activation of the PI3'K/Akt signaling pathway culminates in the phosphorylation of the BCL-2 family member BAD, thereby suppressing apoptosis and promoting cell survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diffusible, nonfibrillar ligands derived from Aβ1–42 are potent central nervous system neurotoxins

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that impaired synaptic plasticity and associated memory dysfunction during early stage Alzheimer's disease and severe cellular degeneration and dementia during end stage could be caused by the biphasic impact of Abeta-derived diffusible ligands acting upon particular neural signal transduction pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-3-Induced Phosphorylation of BAD Through the Protein Kinase Akt

TL;DR: The proapoptotic function of BAD is regulated by the PI 3-kinase-Akt pathway, and active, but not inactive, forms of Akt were found to phosphorylate BAD in vivo and in vitro at the same residues that are phosphorylated in response to IL-3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and Function of 3-Phosphorylated Inositol Lipids

TL;DR: This review is focused on the 3-phosphoinositide lipids, the synthesis of which is acutely triggered by extracellular stimuli, the enzymes responsible for their synthesis and metabolism, and their cell biological roles.
