Oxidative Stress, Synaptic Dysfunction, and Alzheimer’s Disease

TL;DR: The role of oxidative stress in synaptic dysfunction in AD, innovative therapeutic strategies evolved based on a better understanding of the complexity of molecular mechanisms of AD, and the dual role ROS play in health and disease are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Melatonin and inflammation—Story of a double‐edged blade

TL;DR: A particular role in melatonin's actions seems to be associated with the upregulation of sirtuin‐1 (SIRT1), which shares various effects known from melatonin and additionally interferes with the signaling by the mechanistic target of rapamycin and Notch, and reduces the expression of the proinflammatory lncRNA‐CCL2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obesity pandemic: causes, consequences, and solutions—but do we have the will?

TL;DR: The many causes of obesity are described, including key roles that a dysbiotic intestinal microbiome plays in metabolic derangements accompanying obesity, increased calorie absorption, and increased appetite and fat storage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutrient regulation of signaling and transcription.

TL;DR: This review will present an overview of the current understanding of O-GlcNAc's regulation, functions, and roles in chronic diseases of aging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive review of mechanisms of pathogenesis involved in Alzheimer's disease and potential therapeutic strategies.

TL;DR: The present review provides an insight to the different molecular mechanisms involved in the development and progression of the AD and potential therapeutic strategies, enlightening perceptions into structural information of conventional and novel targets along with the successful applications of computational approaches for the design of target-specific inhibitors.

Evaluating the Association between Diabetes, Cognitive Decline and Dementia.

TL;DR: There is evidence of the association between diabetes, cognitive decline and dementia including the shared pathogenesis between diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease, and the self management of diabetes is affected by dementia and cognitive decline.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abnormal interaction of oligomeric amyloid-β with phosphorylated tau: implications to synaptic dysfunction and neuronal damage.

TL;DR: It is concluded that Aβ interacts with phosphorylated tau and may damage neuronal structure and function, particularly synapses, leading to cognitive decline in AD patients, and suggest that binding sites between Aβ and phosphorylation tau need to be identified and molecules developed to inhibit this interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

High carbohydrate diets and Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: In this article, the epsilon-4 variant (E4) of the apolipoprotein E gene was found to be a risk factor for late onset Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuronal stress signaling and eIF2α phosphorylation as molecular links between Alzheimer's disease and diabetes.

TL;DR: The concept that targeting defective brain insulin signaling and neuronal stress mechanisms with anti-diabetes agents may be an attractive approach to fight memory decline in AD is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advanced glycation endproduct precursor alters intracellular amyloid- β/AβPP carboxy-terminal fragment aggregation and cytotoxicity

TL;DR: It is shown that A beta/CTF aggregation and cytotoxicity may be profoundly altered by aldehydes associated with diabetes and that in the case of MG, this process is suppressed by alpha-tocopherol.
