Why Does the Alzheimer’s Brain Become Insulin-Resistant?
Click here to view original web page at Why Does the Alzheimer’s Brain Become Insulin-Resistant? Summary: Insulin binding receptors are predominantly located in the microvessels within the blood-brain barrier. In patients with Alzheimer’s, the abundance of these receptors is decreased. This decrease could lead to the loss of insulin response in the Alzheimer’s brain. Source: … Continue reading “Why Does the Alzheimer’s Brain Become Insulin-Resistant?”
