New Insights into the Effect of Diabetes and Obesity in Alzheimer’s Disease
Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in elderly people. The prevalence of Alzheimer diseases is increasing in the world due to population aging. Metabolic disease such as diabetes and obesity play important role in Alzheimer disease. Hyperglycemia can play important role in brain damage. It causes cognitive impairments, functional and structural alterations in...
متن کاملEmerging insights into the biology of metastasis: A review article
Metastasis means the dissemination of the cancer cells from one organ to another which is not directly connected to the primary site. Metastasis has a crucial role in the prognosis of cancer patients. A few theories, different types of cell and several molecular pathways have been proposed to explain the mechanism of metastasis. In this work, the related articles in the limited period of time, ...
متن کاملCardiovascular roles of estrogen receptors: insights gained from knockout models
The effects of estrogen are mediated through two functionally distinct receptors, estrogen receptor alpha (ER- alpha ), and estrogen receptor beta (ER- beta ), both of which are expressed in the cardiovascular system. The etiology of cardiovascular disease is believed to result in part from the loss of endogenous estrogen, indicating that estrogen and its receptors may play important roles in t...
متن کاملStriatin-dependent membrane estrogen receptor signaling and vasoprotection by estrogens.
It is well known that cardiovascular disease is less frequent in premenopausal women compared with men but rises rapidly in postmenopausal women. Such early observations led to the hypothesis that estrogen therapy will reduce the risk of postmenopausal women developing cardiovascular disease.1 However, observational studies have led to conflicting results, with some studies reporting reductions...
متن کاملWhat's new in estrogen receptor action in the female reproductive tract.
Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) is a critical player in development and function of the female reproductive system. Perturbations in ERα response can affect wide-ranging aspects of health in humans as well as in livestock and wildlife. Because of its long-known and broad impact, ERα mechanisms of action continue to be the focus on cutting-edge research efforts. Consequently, novel insights have g...
