Exosomal biomarkers of brain insulin resistance associated with regional atrophy in Alzheimer's disease
20 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Brain insulin resistance (IR), which depends on insulin‐receptor‐substrate‐1 (IRS‐1) phosphorylation, is characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previously, we demonstrated higher pSer312‐IRS‐1 (ineffective insulin signaling) and lower p‐panTyr‐IRS‐1 (effective insulin signaling) in neural origin‐enriched plasma exosomes of AD patients vs. controls. Here, we hypothesized that these exosomal...
