The effect of insulin and glucose on the plasma concentration of Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein.

Abstract excerpt

The deposition of beta amyloid is a critical event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. This peptide is a metabolite of the amyloid precursor protein. Recent research suggests that there is a correlation between plasma insulin and glucose concentrations and memory performance in Alzheimer's disease sufferers. Additionally, in vitro evidence suggests that both insulin and glucose may affect the metabolism...
