Diagnostic Accuracy of Blood-Based Biomarker Panels: A Systematic Review

TL;DR: Assessment of Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers in blood as a non-invasive and cost-effective alternative will potentially contribute to early diagnosis and improvement of therapeutic interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain insulin resistance as a mechanistic mediator links peripheral metabolic disorders with declining cognition.

TL;DR: In this article , the role of brain insulin signaling and negative effect of dysmetabolism on insulin functioning in the brain was summarized. But, the authors focused on the negative effect on brain insulin functioning.
Journal ArticleDOI

High Plasma Resistin Levels Portend the Insulin Resistance-Associated Susceptibility to Early Cognitive Decline in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

TL;DR: High plasma resistin levels portend the insulin resistance-related susceptibility to early cognitive decline in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and its clinical value for early disease screening must be further studied.
Book ChapterDOI

Neuroinflammation, microglial activation, and glucose metabolism in neurodegenerative diseases.

TL;DR: The way in which microglial activation influences neurodegeneration and how systemic inflammation, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity and hypercholesterolemia influence neuroinflammation are discussed.

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.
