The Impact of Disease Comorbidities in Alzheimer's Disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of the most common comorbidities in the clinical management of Alzheimer's disease patients is discussed, and some drugs commonly prescribed to patients with diabetes and cardiovascular disease have shown promising results in AD patients.

Cold-induced lipid dynamics and transcriptional programs in white adipose tissue

TL;DR: TheCold-induced lipid dynamics and gene expression pathways in iWAT are contrary to those previously observed in metabolic syndrome, neurodegenerative disorders, and aging, suggesting beneficial effects of cold-induced WAT browning on health and lifespan.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cognitive control of eating and body weight: it's more than what you "think"

TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed that consuming a WD is associated with the emergence of pathophysiologies in the hippocampus, an important brain substrate for learning, memory, and cognition, and how eating a WD could impair hippocampal function, producing cognitive deficits that promote increased WD intake and body weight gain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Central insulin dysregulation and energy dyshomeostasis in two mouse models of Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: It is reported that CNS insulin signaling abnormalities are evident months before peripheral insulin resistance, and that brain energy metabolism is differentially altered in both mouse models, with 3xTg-AD mice showing more extensive changes.

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.
