Could Alzheimer's and Diabetes Be Linked?
Summary
A recent study suggests a closer relationship between diabetes and Alzheimer's disease than previously thought. Some researchers propose that Alzheimer's could be a form of diabetes, as insulin production in the brain appears to decline as Alzheimer's progresses.
Article Body
Recent research has unveiled surprising connections between diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. It is now believed by some experts that Alzheimer's might be a form of diabetes, due to the decline in insulin production in the brain observed as the disease advances.
Through various experiments, researchers have discovered that the brain produces insulin, and this insulin production drops below normal levels in those with Alzheimer's. Leading this investigation is Suzanne M. de la Monte, a neuropathologist at Rhode Island Hospital and a professor at Brown University. She highlights that insulin's dramatic reduction in Alzheimer's could explain many of the disease's features, such as brain cell death and the formation of tangles. This suggests Alzheimer's may be a neuroendocrine disorder or another type of diabetes.
During Alzheimer's early stages, brain insulin levels and related receptors decrease sharply, as de la Monte's team has reported. They argue that Alzheimer's might represent a new form of diabetes, since insulin levels continue to decline as the disease worsens.
Moreover, the research team discovered a link between low levels of acetylcholine?"a hallmark of Alzheimer's?"and the reduced function of insulin and insulin-like growth factors in the brain.
The researchers conducted autopsies on brain tissue from 45 Alzheimer's patients at various Braak Stages and compared these to samples from individuals without the disease. Their findings shed new light on the significant overlap between these two complex conditions.
