Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Dysregulated insulin receptor signaling (insulin resistance) may be involved in dementia and neurodegenerative disease (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease), thus insulin receptor signaling being the major molecular targets of neuroprotective drugs. In the present study, we have demonstrated that the insulin receptor signaling was up- and down-modulated by several therapeutic drugs and bioactive agents (e.g. nicotine, crucmin, immunosuppressants and alchol) via multiple intracellular mechanisms. Synthesized insulin in rat hippocampal neurons is secreted by depolarization, and the activation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β in Amyloid β(1-42)-induced Alzheimer's model hippocampal neurons decreases the insulin synthesis.
