MiR-702-5p ameliorates diabetic encephalopathy in db/db mice by regulating 12/15-LOX

TL;DR: In this article , the effect of miR-702-5p on diabetic encephalopathy and 12/15-LOX in the central nervous system (CNS) was investigated.

Elevated Peripheral Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Level Associated With Decreasing Insulin Secretion May Forecast Memory Dysfunction in Patients With Long-Term Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: Elevated peripheral BDNF level associated with declined islet function, when combined with its Val66Met polymorphism, may forecast memory dysfunction in patients with long-term T2DM.

Targeting the liver in dementia and cognitive impairment: Dietary macronutrients and diabetic therapeutics

TL;DR: In this paper , targeted hepatic delivery of diabetic medicines using nanotechnologies and titration of macronutrients to optimize hepatic energy metabolism is proposed to improve cognition and reduce symptoms of dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Use of Anti-Diabetic Drugs in Alzheimer’s Disease, New Therapeutic Options and Future Perspective

TL;DR: It is concluded that antidiabetics have good potential to improve dementia, especially in earlier AD stages, however, many of the underlying intricate molecular pathways are still unclear and thus thorough future research is required.

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.

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.
