Modeling Sporadic Alzheimer's Disease: The Insulin Resistant Brain State Generates Multiple Long-Term Morphobiological Abnormalities Including Hyperphosphorylated Tau Protein and Amyloid-β

Abstract excerpt

Nosologically, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is not a single disorder. Missense gene mutations involved in increased formation of the amyloid-beta protein precursor derivatives amyloid-beta (Abeta(1-40) and Abeta(1-42/43) lead to autosomal dominant familial AD, found in the minority of AD cases. However, millions of subjects suffer from sporadic AD (sAD) of late onset, for which no convincing evidence suggests Abeta...
