Beyond amyloid: Immune, cerebrovascular, and metabolic contributions to Alzheimer disease in people with Down syndrome

TL;DR: In this article , the authors discuss evidence that multiple genes on chromosome 21 are associated with metabolic dysfunction in Down syndrome, leading to increased risk of Alzheimer disease (AD), presumably conferred through genetic predispositions arising from trisomy 21.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diabetic Theory in Anti-Alzheimer's Drug Research and Development - Part 1: Therapeutic Potential of Antidiabetic Agents.

TL;DR: The purpose of this review was to update the most recent reports on the discovery and development of antidiabetic agents as promising drugs for the symptomatic and disease-modifying treatment of AD.

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy of prefrontal cortex during memory encoding and recall in elderly with type 2 diabetes mellitus

TL;DR: This study establishes forehead portable brain imaging under cognitive load for monitoring cerebrovascular function in T2DM and finds a significant difference in the PFC activation between elderly subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus and age-matched elderly controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estradiol selectively regulates metabolic substrates across memory systems in models of menopause.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that regulation of neural metabolism is one likely mechanism for these bidirectional effects of estradiol on cognition, and they found that estrogens increased extracellular levels of glucose in the hippocampus, a shift that corresponds to the hormone's beneficial effects on hippocampus-sensitive cognition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is Alzheimer's disease a type 3 diabetes? A review.

TL;DR: This is a review article that deals with the question of whether type 2 diabetes is a risk factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease, and some researches proposed the term "type 3 diabetes" for Alzheimer's Disease.

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.
